Takashi Asahina (conductor) / Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra

Description:

The conductor Takashi Asahina, who will celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2008, will once again perform his memorable 18th Bruckner, Bruckner No. 7. The HYBRID re-release of the EXTON recording of his last Bruckner series, which can be called the last Bruckner series. It is no exaggeration to say that Symphony No. 7, the most frequently performed symphony in Asahina's Bruckner performance history, is truly his 18th number. This will be his last performance of Symphony No. 7 with the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra, a group he has devoted himself to with great care. Please enjoy the beautiful, clear, and vast musical world that he finally arrived at in the course of his many accumulated experiences with the orchestra in the high sound quality of SACD. ［Comments courtesy of Octavia Records.]
