Saburo Moroi (1903-1977), the father of composer Makoto Moroi and financier Ken Moroi, was a rare Japanese composer who fully mastered the orthodox German compositional method. His \"Symphonic Second Movement\" and \"Symphony No. 3\" are particularly striking in their homogeneity with the works of Bruckner and Hindemith, and the power of the massive, roaring orchestral forces and the forward motion of layered sound patterns are overwhelming. The grandiose, organ-like sound of the symphony strengthens the feeling that Saburo Moroi is the greatest symphonist ever to come out of Japan.The three movements of Symphony No. 3, which was written at the end of the war when the war ended in defeat, have serious themes such as \"Quiet Overture: Birth and Development of the Spirit,\" \"On Humor,\" and \"Various Thoughts on Death,\" and the grandeur of the opening movement, the Brucknerian expansion of the scherzo movement, and the resignation and purification of the final movement strongly recall Bruckner's \"Ninth\" in their composition. The grandeur of the opening movement, the Brucknerian sweep of the scherzo movement, and the final movement, full of resignation and purification, strongly remind one of Bruckner's \"Ninth\". In the midst of the dying \"Empire of Japan,\" this is a great work that can be called a \"Japanese swan song\" that Saburo Moroi has made into sound. It is a sublime music filled with echoes from the other shore, similar to the last movement of Mahler's \"Ninth,\" Sibelius' later works, and R. Strauss' masterpiece from his last years. The CD comes with a Japanese-language commentary by Mr. Toshihide Katayama, which includes detailed explanations of the music and biographical information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46064482386209,"sku":"4945604571623","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604571623.jpg?v=1691121352","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604571623","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
