For Takashi Asahina, Tchaikovsky has been an important repertoire since his youth, inheriting the garment from his teacher Metter. From the point of view that "there is no choice but to incorporate the subjective feelings of the performer", Asahina has a rich facial expression and a fierce spirit, develops a hot performance, and the appearance that makes a difference everywhere. It will be an irresistible attraction for fans. These sound sources are live performances commemorating the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth in 1990, and are important monuments when Asahina was 82 years old. When it first appeared in 1991, it was released as a set of three symphonies, and after that, only No. 5 was released on the ARTON board, and then it was reissued independently in 2011. This reprint will be the first reprint in about 30 years as a set, and the first reprint in about 20 years after the single release. This time, it is a new 3-disc set with Lyadov. Also, in terms of price, when it first appeared, it was around 8,000 yen including tax for a set of 3 CDs. This reprint is new and mastering is also done, so even if you are not a fan, you should pay attention to it. A new manuscript written by Ryosuke Masuda, a reprint of Koho Uno's manuscript when it was released in 1991, a new mastering by Tomoyoshi Esaki in 2021, and a green label were used. The master is Canyon Classics.
These recordings are live recordings when a concert was held as "Takashi Asahina's Trajectory IV" at The Symphony Hall in Osaka to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's birth in 1990. A concert was held every month, with "No.", "No. 5" in the following month, and "Sorrow" in December. Originally Asahina studied conducting under the Russian Metter, and when she made her conducting debut in 1939 at the age of 31, her main was Tchaikovsky's "No. 5". When she was young, she shook a lot of Russian and Eastern European works, and because of her closeness to Tchaikovsky and the popularity of her audience, she has become a repertoire for Asahina alongside her dual alliance. It seems. However, her later years have been focused on German works, and her chances of conducting have diminished. However, she conducts a relatively large amount of Tchaikovsky, and in her remaining recordings, many sound sources are left even after this 1990. As for the number of recordings of the commercial version of each song, "No. 4" is the only version in 1990 (the performance itself was performed multiple times), and "No. 5" is 4 times (this time in 1990 version). The 3rd time) and 6 times of "Sorrow" (the 2nd time in the 1990 edition) are left. The characteristics of Asahina's Tchaikovsky performance can be said to be quite flexible, unlike the Germans who try to faithfully reproduce her sheet music. It can be said that the tempo movement and facial expressions are different each time, and it makes me think that the entertainment element that introduces the charm of the work from various angles is high. Of course, it is a technique that can be achieved only because you truly sympathize with the work, and it seems as if you share a wide range of familiarity. It is filled with the charm of her Asahina, and I think there is a reason why she liked Tchaikovsky until her later years.
This manual includes a new foreword commentary by Ryosuke Masuda, and also includes the text of Koho Uno, who wrote the commentary when it first appeared in 1991. She also paid attention to the sound quality, and made a new mastering for this release by Mr. Tomoyoshi Esaki, the representative of Octavia Records. We will release only 700 sets with serial number stickers.
