Record of Takashi Asahina's live performance at the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra in the 90's. It is stamped here that the famous performances of "Te Deum" and "No. 9" in 1991 came to fruition as a great achievement of the Cycles for the next four years from 1993. The synergy between Asahina and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, which is in close communication with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, is the high-fidelity ``No. 5'', the uplifting ``No. 7'', the majestic and empathetic ``No. "No. 9" and Bruckner's image of a very masculine appearance are produced. This is the first appearance of the 6-disc set that includes the 1991 edition, which was highly praised by Koyoshi Uno. It has an attractive structure, including a new manuscript by Mr. Shiroo Tojo, a commentary on the performance of the 1991 edition by Mr. Koyoshi Uno, a new mastering for 2021 by Yuyoshi Ezaki, and a green label specification. Canyon Classics master, new re-release for the first time in about 10 years. In addition, the reprint on the same Octavia label will be the release following "Brahms: Complete Symphonies (1994-1995)" (OVEP00011) released on April 23, 2021. In addition, in this reprint, "No. 5" and "Te Deum & No. 9" recorded in 1991, which were previously released as a set of 2 when sold separately, are recorded on one disc each, and the total number of copies is reduced.

Regarding the number of Bruckner performances performed by Asahina, the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra was the second-most orchestra after the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra (hereafter, Tokyo Symphony Orchestra and New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra follow in equal numbers). Of course, both of them, who have co-starred other than Bruckner, have left many famous performances until their later years. Among them, Bruckner's performances include Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 in addition to the songs here, and it can be said that it was the second largest after the Osaka Philharmonic. In addition, "Te Deum" was the last of the six performances in his life in 1991. This time, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Asahina's death, we traced the trajectory left behind by Asahina, but Asahina's Bruckner performance is exceptional, and now such a masterly performance is dying out, probably due to the flow of the times. Therefore, it is thought that it is not just a record, but rather a longing with nostalgia. You can listen to the atmosphere and tone of the venue at that time with her high-quality sound, so it will bring back memories of the past more than her conventional board. In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of her death, this commentary includes an article by Mr. Sekio Tojo, who had many discussions with her. After looking back on Asahina's Bruckner, it is a must-read commentary with episodes unique to him. The matter that reminds me of Asahina's humorous tone is interesting even for non-Asahina fans.
