Description:

The Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus has a diverse repertoire. This time, it is a collaboration with Yoshio Mamiya, who has created many masterpieces in his very long creative career. The concert in December 2008, in which Mamiya himself selected and conducted the pieces, was recorded. The methodology of incorporating "folk" motifs into his own compositions in a unique way to bring fresh rhythms and sounds to the surface has been well received by many. The addition of choral works by Bergman and Brahms, in addition to his own compositions, makes this program even more appealing, and you will be able to hear it as it was at the concert. ［Comment courtesy of Fontec.
