Koizumi Kazuhiro

Description:

The Century Orchestra of Japan, conducted by Kazuhiro Koizumi, has been energetically performing Bruckner's symphonies with a precise ensemble of medium-sized orchestra. Following the highly acclaimed "Nos. 4, 5, and 6," released in 2010, "Nos. 1, 2, and 3" is a follow-up to "Nos. 4, 5, and 6," which shed light on a new aspect of Bruckner's works. These early symphonies have a different appeal from the large-scale, unrestrained works of the middle and late period. Koizumi/Century approaches the essence of the symphonies without any pretense.
