Description:

This is the long-awaited debut album by Tomoyuki Hasegawa, principal trumpet player and soloist with the NHK Symphony Orchestra. The album includes the standard trumpet repertoire of Honegger and Enescu, the highly technical Bitsch and Böhme, and a rare trio with violin that has a beautiful and unique colorful feel. The album is very rich in content, ranging from standard to unusual pieces. Hasegawa's stable technique and brilliant sound overwhelmed the listeners. And the beautiful melodies and musicality of Hasegawa's singing captivate the listener. You will be amazed by Tomoyuki Hasegawa's masterful sound, which combines both softness and rigidity. Takaya Sano on piano adds color to the music with his superb support. The trio's duet with Kaoru Kondo, concertmaster of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, is a must-see. This is the debut recording of Tomoyuki Hasegawa, a world-class trumpet player from Japan. (C)RS
