Reflecting the history of music in the first half of the 20th century, Akio Yashiro inherited the essence of these innovative composers from his mentors—Kunihiko Hashimoto, Akira Ifukube, and Yujiro Ikeuchi—and perfectly sublimated a neoclassical European style into his own works. His representative work, the “Piano Concerto,” has become a masterpiece in its genre, still performed repeatedly even in the 21st century. This piece, which makes full use of a richly colorful sound reminiscent of Bartók and Prokofiev, won the 1968 Otaka Prize. Meanwhile, the “Symphony,” composed in 1958, was the first completed work after Yashiro returned from his studies in Paris. It was written with the symphonies of César Franck—whom Yashiro deeply admired—in mind. This performance conveys the passionate vision of Takuo Yuasa, who openly expressed his admiration for Yashiro, stating, “I hope this recording will serve as a catalyst for elevating the status of Japanese composers.” *The liner notes and performer profiles are reprinted from the booklet of the previously released product [8.555351J].\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525305458977,"sku":"4589538751173","price":1980.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538751173.jpg?v=1789730746","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538751173","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
