Out of print: Seiji Ozawa conducts Saito Kinen Orchestra - Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings, etc. This CD is a monumental recording of Seiji Ozawa's founding of the Saito Kinen Orchestra and the numerous recordings he left with PHILIPS, Decca, and Sony. Recorded at the Kanoya Hall in Okaya City during the early days of the Saito Kinen Festival in Matsumoto, these three string ensemble pieces are imbued with the spirit of Hideo Saito, the renowned cellist and Ozawa's mentor. This is an immortal masterpiece by the string players of the Saito Kinen Orchestra at the time, many of whom were students of Hideo Saito. Please see the photos for details.
