Dear members
One of my long-awaited Japanese symphony will release from Naxos Japan.
Hashimoto's musics are forgotten long time.
His symphony no.1( which is one of best composition in Japan) performed only two times! ( in 1940 and Naxos's recording session)
Symphony no.2 is not performed before, but my dream has finally come true!
Qunihico Hashimoto (1904 - 1949 ) Symphony no.2 in F (1947)
about 30 munites (3 (Picc.) -2 (C-Ing) -2 (B.Cla) -2 (C.Fg), 4-3-3-1, Timp, Piatti, Tri-Ing, G.C, T.M, Hp. Str. )
Takuo Yuasa (cond ) / Geidai Philharmonia ( The Orchestra of Tokyo University of the Arts)

I have that Naxos disc, and enjoy greatly both the symphony and whatever Fisherman.... is (a ballet?)
Hopefully they'll see fit to release it internationally.
*blinks* Why was my post edited?
It wasn't - the subject line was just tidied up.
I am listening to the Hashimoto Symphony No.2 as I type :)
If you like romantic music which could easily have been wriiten fifty years before it actually was(1947) then try this tuneful, lyrical piece :)
