Mahler's Symphony No. 9, the first performance in Japan, is a must-listen. Maestro Kondrashin, a legendary Japan tour that should be remembered.

The 286 minutes are condensed onto two discs with the long recording time unique to SACD. ALTUS has greatly improved the sound quality with a new remastering using the latest technology, and the booklet fully covers the same manuscript as the single CD. Furthermore, a newly written manuscript by conductor Kenjiro Sakae is also included. This is a completely limited edition, so we recommend getting your copy as soon as possible! The highlight is Mahler's Symphony No. 9 on Disc 1. This was the first performance in Japan and is one of the most important records in Japanese music history.

The freezing tension and ruthless propulsion create an overwhelming impression. The intensity of the performance of the "Pathétique" and Shostakovich is also incredible, and you will be convinced that this is the sound of Kondrashin that everyone was captivated by. The collaboration with Oistrakh in the Violin Concerto is also a must-listen.
