Akira Ifukube's film music was arranged as wind music for concerts, and "SF Symphonic Fantasy" and "Rondo in Boulesque for Orchestra", which can be said to be the culmination of Ifukube's special effects film music, have been reproduced with a large orchestra envisioned by Mr. Ifukube, and the sound source of the concert in the summer of 2014, which was intoxicated by the powerful music, has finally been released as a CD album! Faithful to the score, this concert will bring you a wonderful musical experience that is both traditional and new! In addition, "Sacred Spring" is played by 25 strings and a beautiful soprano. The chorus of the main title of the popular movie "King Kong vs. Godzilla", which also includes a specially conducted version by Mio Tanaka, conveys the excitement of the venue! (C) RS
