Kazuo Yamada—a master whose discography was far from extensive during his lifetime—is now seeing his legacy truly revived, with the release of numerous previously unpublished recordings. Tobu Recording has selected the “Roman Trilogy.” These are the most flamboyant pieces that perfectly suit “Yamakazu,” yet until now, the only recording available was a private recording of “The Festivals of Rome” with the Kyoto University Symphony Orchestra. You can almost picture his energetic conducting style. In “Pines of the Appian Way” in particular, his growling voice—as if in perfect unison with the low strings—is simply astonishing, making the audience’s frenzy entirely understandable. Maintaining that momentum, his performance of “The Festival of Rome” features intense pauses that would put even Gergiev to shame—a legendary frenzy that can truly be called the very essence of Kazuo Yamada’s artistry. Wow, what passion! With razor-sharp precision, the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra delivers a performance of virtuosity that rivals even today’s standards. An excellent digital recording.\n\nSound Mastering: WEITBLICK\nTobu Land System\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobu Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525285503265,"sku":"4560250641188","price":2305.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4560250641188.jpg?v=1789730668","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4560250641188","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
