REVIEW

April 13, 2023

Bukimisha celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Symphonic Fantasia with a wonderful new a capella recording of Ifukube's classic concert work. Since its premiere on August 5th, 1983, "Symphonic Fantasia" has been performed an estimated 80 times around the world to date, and Bukimisha's latest rendition shows how far their style has evolved as they interpret the piece with enriched technical finesse and sensitivity.

Bukimisha CDs are available to non-Japanese buyers through BOOTH (The International Indie Art Marketplace) by using a proxy service or other intermediary: https://bukimisya-maal.booth.pm/
