Ashiya Symphony Orchestra

Ashiya Symphony Orchestra 83rd regular concert was held at The Symphony Hall in Fukushima Osaka the day before yesterday on Sunday. Fist of all must I report about very sad news, the string trainer Toru Inaniwa had gone away on the end of this April, who had been contributing as long as 30 years to the Orchestra. We want to express the best condolences so respectfully for him. And at the beginning, the memorial music was played prior to the event.
The conductor was Yoko Matsuo as usual and she did it perfectly.

The program were followings;

E. Chabrier: Espana, rhapsodie pour orchestre

N. Ravel: Pavane pour une infante defunte

J Ibert: Escales.....
1 phrase Roma palermo
2 phrase Tunis nefta
3 phase Valencia

H . Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique, Op.14
1phrase Reveries Passions phrase Un Bal phrase Scene aux Champs
2phrase Marche us Supplice
3phrase Songe d'une Nuit du Sabbat
As a bonus program replying the biggest applause by the audiences, Gypsy Festival was played, also good enough to be satisfied.

If I declare some candid advice here, the performance sound pressure level was too high for my eardrum being caused some saturation, the independence of the delicate sound of every instrument was not discerned. It should be a little more gentle, probably the instruments themselves might be caused so to speak saturation, above their capabilities?
It's regrettable to describe like this, because the capability and the potential of the Ashiya Orchestra are not the second to any other professionals.
Anyway we enjoyed enough that evening.
