Description:
Yamakazu’s Heartfelt “Ninth” Reissued on Heritage!! “A truly rich and fulfilling musical drama—so intense it feels like it would bleed if cut!”—Katsuyoshi Uno— Kazuo Yamada’s “Ninth” is finally being released. It must truly be called a long-awaited event. While I couldn’t help but feel a sense of loneliness as records by Takashi Asahina—who is four years older than Yamada—appeared one after another, the two are evenly matched in ability; both are leading figures in the Japanese conducting world. ……If Takashi Asahina’s specialty is Bruckner, then Yamada’s dynamic musical style is a perfect fit for Beethoven, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, and others. Beethoven’s sonic drama, in particular, is where Yamada excels most, and it’s rare to hear a Beethoven performance of this caliber. …—Katsuyoshi Uno— (From the booklet for “A Fulfilling Sonic Drama: Kazuo Yamada’s Beethoven Debut,” VDR-1330) [Tower Records Original Project] Victor × Tower Records ~ Tower Records “Heritage Collection” Vol. 5 The fifth installment of the “Heritage Collection,” an original project featuring selections from the Victor Records archive, which holds numerous rare recordings by Japanese composers and performers. This installment features three titles: Kazuo Yamada & the Kyoto City Symphony Orchestra—*Beethoven: Symphony No. 9*; Seiji Ozawa & the Tokyo Mixed Chorus—*Negro Spirituals & Musical Highlights*; and *The Music of Minami Shibata*. While the third installment of this series featured Kazuo Yamada’s majestic performance of Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony—a fitting showcase of his expertise as a Mahler specialist—this recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, much like the Mahler, fully conveys the charm of Kazuo Yamada’s artistry. Additionally, the Tokyo Mixed Chorus’s “Negro Spirituals & Musical Highlights”—now available on CD for the first time—is a rare recording of Seiji Ozawa conducting the Tokyo Mixed Chorus. The “Musical Highlights” section features a collaboration with Japan’s renowned big band, Nobuo Hara and Sharp & Flats, making this a unique and noteworthy album by Seiji Ozawa. Furthermore, “The Music of Minami Shibata,” a compilation of works by Minami Shibata—who stood at the forefront of Japanese avant-garde music while also making significant contributions as a musicologist and writer—brings together 12 carefully selected pieces, ranging from choral works to electronic music, across three CDs.
