Description:

The latest work by violinist Teiko Maebashi, who will celebrate her 60th anniversary as a performer in 2022, is a concerto album featuring Beethoven's "Violin Concerto in D major," which Maebashi has long wanted to record. This is an album of concertos with an orchestra, which Maebashi has long wanted to record. The live recording with the Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa conducted by Kazuyoshi Akiyama, a conductor Maebashi has worked with for a long time and knows well, is full of enthusiasm. The album movingly captures Maebashi's accumulated artistry as he sings his beloved Guarneri with sometimes fervor and sometimes suppleness. The fill-up is "Romance No. 2," a charming little piece for violin and orchestra that stands out for its beautiful melody among Beethoven's works. Please enjoy all of the superb artistry woven by Teiko Maebashi and the orchestra on this high-quality DSD-recorded hybrid disc. (C)RS
