- Yasushi Akutagawa: A Memorial Album for His 100th Birthday - This is a memorial album dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of the celebrated Japanese composer, Yasushi Akutagawa. Born in 1925 as the third son of the great novelist Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, Yasushi Akutagawa became one of Japan's leading composers, leaving behind a profound legacy not only in music but also through his extensive cultural and social activities. This album features live recordings of Akutagawa's captivating orchestral works, including the must-hear Symphony No. 1 and the Concert ostinato featuring cellist Haruma Satō, the winner of the ARD International Music Competition in Munich. The performance is by the "Yasushi Akutagawa Memorial Orchestra Nipponica", an ensemble named to carry on Akutagawa's spirit and mission. Although Nipponica concluded its 23 years of performance activity with this concert, the preserved sound recordings, scores, and accomplishments of their work will serve as a legacy for the future. This album is truly a tribute to the achievements of both Yasushi Akutagawa and Orchestra Nipponica.
