Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" performed by the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Takashi Asahina. For Asahina, who studied under the Russian conductor Mettel at Kyoto University, the "Pathétique" was a signature repertoire that the maestro had been performing since his younger days. This album is a live recording from the 1980s, a period when the maestro was at the peak of his powers. It is a legendary performance, said to have been followed by an unusual groan from the audience immediately after the performance. This is a masterpiece that Asahina himself, who was present during the mastering, was satisfied with.
