Suisogaku Sansen Live / Hoshina Hiroshi: Symphony No.3

[Machine Translation] Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, a professional group celebrating its 60th anniversary as a leader of wind music in Japan, has released its first album "Kosei Wind Live: Classical Composer". The previous program, entitled "Kosei Wind Live: Classical Composers," focused on original wind band works by classical composers, but this year's program focuses on Japanese composers. The highlight of the program was the world premiere of a new symphony by Mr. Hoshina, a leading figure in the Japanese music world. The work is a masterpiece, surpassing the Symphony 2, which he wrote at the age of 80, and we are simply in awe of his creative spirit. The audience was treated to a high quality live performance of popular pieces from the competition and pieces that will become standards in the future.
