Japan Philharmonic Orchestra 764th Subscription Concert in Tokyo Unofficial

Romantic line led by a veteran and a youngster

Our laureate conductor emeritus, Kenichiro Kobayashi, is now the most experienced conductor in Japan. This time, he will be joined by the young and highly trusted Ryoma Takagi to present a royal road program of Romanticism. Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 is a masterpiece among masterpieces, loved by pianists all over the world, and is filled with beautiful melodies and harmonies. The second half of Brahms' Symphony is a magnificent symphony that took Brahms more than 20 years to write in order to overcome his great predecessor, Beethoven. The entire work is full of highlights, such as the flowing melody in the opening movement, the delicate form of the second movement, the peaceful third movement, and the famous theme that emerges in the finale with the sound of a horn that reminds us of the mountains of the Alps.
