Now, for the first time, the complete “My Homeland” cycle conducted by Kobaken is being released on the EXTON label. Kobaken previously served as the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra’s principal conductor, and this monumental live recording marks his return to the orchestra’s podium for the first time in 24 years! It is a triumphant homecoming performance of “My Homeland,” a work he masters like no other!\nThe delicate timbre of the strings in “The Moldau” and the rare expressiveness that fully captures the nostalgia of the Czech homeland. Kobayashi’s masterful baton guides the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra’s highly polished performance. “My Homeland,” a Czech masterpiece that has been performed countless times and refined through deep contemplation, resonates with rich, lush charm. This is a truly remarkable recording, made possible only by Kobayashi’s profound understanding of Czech tradition!
