Description:
NHK Symphony Orchestra trombonist Wataru Ikegami's solo album is now available. Ikegami has been a member of the NHK Symphony Orchestra since 2001 after playing with the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. He has been a member of Japan's top orchestra for many years, where many of the world's maestros have served as soloists, and has also been actively involved in ensembles. The album that Ikegami is finally releasing is a full-bodied program that is a lavish infusion of the music that has become Ikegami's flesh and blood over the course of his rich career. The lineup is composed of pieces from various periods and styles, and should be considered a touchstone for trombonists. With Ayano Shiro, who played at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and is highly trusted by all performers, on the piano, Ikegami will be playing with a true sense of ease. The title piece, commissioned by percussionist Satoru Takeshima, who also plays with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, is also a must-hear. The four pieces by Boza, Schreck, Hindemith, and David are, coincidentally, designated as the subjects and selections for the trombone section of this year's (2023) Japan Wind and Percussion Competition, so be sure to check them out. ＜Wataru Ikegami (trombone) was born in Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture.
