for the Entire Performance
The
TIJ‘s performance of the Beethoven Zyklus that began in late March with the
arrival of the cherry blossoms has been successfully concluded with the
magnificent “Missa Solemnis”, a religious piece at the end.
This
memorable achievement, the first in Japan, is characterised by Takeharu
NOBUHARA’s most rigorous, unflinching adherence to the classical
instruments in his quest for reproducing the
performance, the instruments and the audience’s reaction during the lifetime of
Beethoven. Takeharu NOBUHARA’s attempt has aroused interests in various fields.
The entire programmes have been successfully completed, thanks to the warmest
expectation, support and encouragement of all. TIJ members have become
more and more enthused at the turn of each performance. We firmly believe that
the valuable experience gained through Beethoven Zyklus endeavour has
consolidated the TIJ‘s foundation for future activities.
