RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Scheherazade, Op.35
LISZT: Les Preludes
LISZT: Der Tanz in Dorfschenke, "Mephisto Waltz No.1"
Conductor: Tomomi Nishimoto

The Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra

Regarding "Scheherazade", I would like to hear "live" this performance so much. It is very much lyric and I can feel various wonderful colours hearing this piece. (We can see such colours hearing music conducted by maestro Tomomi almost always.) I think it is very high quality and beautiful performance.
It is very hot in Tokyo now, but while I hear this music in this CD, it brings to my mind scenes at sea and I can feel coolness.....
I like the theme of "Scheherazade" played by the leader so much. It is very elegant indeed.
Actually, I did not like this tune so much before, but after I heard this CD, I am very interested in it now.
I also like "Les Preludes" in this CD so much. It is very impressive. This tune is one of pieces that I would like to play now.
Overall, the tone colour of strings are velvety, and the performance is gracious but freely very much.
I also like the CD jacket so much. Maestro Tomomi looks like "Scheherazade". She is conversational and intellectual, and I think it is just like maestro Tomomi. You can see the CD jacket in this site.

I just stopped by your blog while doing some research of Maestro Tomomi. I like her way of conducting and her music is very elegant and well-controlled. It's a pity that I don't see her cd/dvd in my country yet...Hopefully I can go to her live performances someday in the near future.
I saw your Japanese blog as well and I knew you've posted some reviews of her latest performances. Thanks for Excite's tralation machine so I can get....30%-50% of the content you wrote.
I'll be appreciated if you share more news about maestro Tomomi. Have a great weekend!
Best wishes,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for replying you so late cause I don't add your blog to my favorite list...
If you don't mind, I'd like to add it so I can know more info about Maestro Tomomi promptly.
I'm from Taiwan and recently I just asked my friend to bring some of Masestro Tomomi's works from Japan. I especially like the DVD of The Posthumous symphony written Tchaikovsky. Also, I'm very impressed by the acoustics of Suntory Hall. Wish I can visit there and enjoy Tomomi's great music some day...
Happy New Year!
