Toshio Hosokawa: Orchestral Works 3

This recording presents the Orchestra’s most contemporary aspect. It is the first world recording of all of the works compiled and includes performances by the soloists who first released it. The self-same Hosokawa, one of today’s most distinguished composers, was present at the recording in the Orchestra’s Miramon headquarters where he demonstrated his emotion at the carrying out of this project, which includes for example in ‘Meditation’ a tribute to the victims of the Japan tsunami of 2011.
