Description:

[A summit of the clarinet meets one of Japan's most adventurous quartets] 1 October 2012. On the night that Typhoon No. 17, which had caused record disruption, moved away from Tokyo, Kioi Hall was engulfed by another storm - this time a storm of emotion. Michel Arrignon, in Japan as guest artist, is a grand figure of the French wind-playing tradition. The Morgaua Quartet, formed by principal players from Tokyo's leading orchestras, is an ensemble known for its remarkably broad repertoire. The music these Japanese and French masters made together is thrilling from first note to last. Arrignon graduated from the Paris Conservatoire with premiers prix in both clarinet and chamber music, and continued his studies at the University of Michigan. He took second prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1972 and was a member of Pierre Boulez's Ensemble Intercontemporain from 1978 to 1983. He served as principal clarinet of the Paris Opera Orchestra from 1984 to 1989, and from 1989 to 2009 was professor at the Paris Conservatoire, succeeding Guy Deplus. In 2010 he was appointed honorary professor at the Reina Sofia School of Music in Spain. His repertoire ranges from the pre-Mozart era to the present day; he is celebrated for his extraordinary technique and for his interpretations of contemporary music, and many composers have dedicated works to him. He is a visiting professor at the Osaka College of Music and an official tester at the Buffet Crampon factory in Mantes. - First violin: Eiji Arai (solo concertmaster, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra) - Second violin: Tetsuo Tozawa (concertmaster, Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra) - Viola: Fuji Ono (viola Vorspieler, NHK Symphony Orchestra) - Cello: Ryoichi Fujimori (principal cello, NHK Symphony Orchestra) The MORGAUA QUARTET was formed in the autumn of 1992 with the aim of performing the fifteen string quartets of Shostakovich. It gave the first of its subscription concerts in June 1993, and its bold programming and playing have attracted attention ever since. In January 1998 it received the 10th Muramatsu Award; in April 2005 Meister Music released its recording of the Borodin string quartets; and in May 2011 it was awarded the Arion Prize for 2010. In 2012 its album of progressive-rock classics arranged for string quartet, 21st Century Sane Men (Nippon Columbia) - a play on King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" - caused a considerable stir. The name "Morgaua" derives from the Esperanto morgaua, meaning "of tomorrow". ALM RECORDS / Kojima Recordings
