September, 2013: Helgoland / Asahina / Osaka Philharmonic / 1987

In recent weeks, the recordings of Takashi Asahina have been the focus on several web-based record-sharing sites. His extensive catalog of recordings has been well represented. While I usually concentrate on symphonic recordings, I thought I would make my Asahina contribution to this effort. This month I am featuring a hard-to-locate recording of Takashi Asahina performing Bruckner's Helgoland. The recording originates from a radio broadcast. ===================================== ANTON BRUCKNER: Helgoland (12'59") -Takashi Asahina -Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra -Doshisha Glee-Club -Kansai University Glee-Club -Osaka University Male Chorus -Ritsumeikan University Men's Choir -Konan University Glee-Club -Kwansai Gakuin University Glee-Club --Festival Hall, Osaka --November 3, 1987
