Description:

The voice of "Resurrection" breaks the silence that had been forced upon us and resonates magnificently! The Tokyo Juventus Philharmonic, which has been popular for its concerts since Kenjiro Sakairi formed the ensemble in 2008, performed a monumental concert on January 15, 2022, breaking the silence caused by the Corona disaster. The concert on January 15, 2022 was planned as a monumental concert to break the silence caused by the inevitable Corona disaster. Mahler's "Resurrection" is a work that Sakairi had hoped to feature at this time, and the entire concert, including the coupling, is a hymn to the art of playing music. The score of "Resurrection" instructs that there should be an interval of at least five minutes after the end of the first movement. In the concert, the second and later movements were performed as the second half of the program (the CD is also divided into two discs at the same point). This allowed the works of Ives and Vaughan Williams to serve as a springboard for the first movement of "Resurrection," and seemed to make the tragedy of this movement even more compelling. The image of the second half beginning with this as a springboard and continuing up to the magnificent climax of the finale is truly an oddity of programming.Saki Nakae and Akiko Yajimoe's solo singing was also excellent, and the orchestra rose to the occasion with the conductor and the powerful chorus joining in to build a great hymn.
