For Takashi Asahina, Brahms is a pillar of his repertoire along with Beethoven and Bruckner, leaving behind four complete works during his lifetime. This DISC is a live recording of Chikurusu from 1994 to 1995, and is positioned as Asahina's third complete collection. Five years after the second completion, this performance was realized at the request of the maestro, and everything is worth listening to. The masculine expression of "No. 1", the energetic "No. 2", the emotional "No. 3", the majestic "No. 4", etc. are truly a "return of romance" (Kouyoshi Uno). the world of. Equipped with attractive features such as Ryosuke Masuda's new manuscript, Koyoshi Uno's performance commentary, and new mastering in 2021. This complete work, which is highly rated as the best among the four Brahms, is a record of the 87-year-old master who will be revived for the first time in about a quarter of a century.
The complete Brahms symphonies by Asahina consisted of only two with the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra (1st and 3rd) and two with the New Japan Philharmonic (2nd and 4th), so compared to Beethoven's, there are few remaining sound sources. , It is only a valuable sound source. In both cases, there is a certain interval between the recording times of the recorded sound sources, and it can be said that each performance reflects the style of Asahina at that time as it is. The first recording was a public live performance held at Kobe Bunka Hall from 1979 to the following year. It was the content of the performance (Victor master board. Released in SACD single layer as a tower planning board in 2019. GCAC1027). The second time was recorded live with the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra in 1990 and 1992, and it is characterized by the fact that it was a performance when Asahina was still full of energy (fontec original, reissued on CD in 2014, FOCD9035). . Next is the third recording with the Osaka Philharmonic from 1994 to the following year, which is now being reproduced, and was recorded at the Festival Hall in Osaka. Among Asahina fans, this recording has the highest evaluation, and although it is the last recording with the Osaka Philharmonic, and although the interpretation is consistent, the lively expression just before her final years style stands out depending on the song. There must be a reason. Of course, the 4th recording (fontec original, FOCD9206) from 2000 to the following year has the same basic interpretation, and is a valuable sound source in the sense that it is the final answer of Asahina herself, who spent her life exploring. is. Unlike many Beethoven sound sources, Asahina's Brahms recordings can be said to be easy to understand because there are some intervals between the recording times. This time, we will reprint the complete 3rd performance record, the rare Schumann's "Line", and the sound source of two precious rehearsal scenes as a SACD hybrid disc.
