Description:

This is the second album by the unique duo of baritone Kei Matsudaira and Shinya Hashimoto, who plays the tuba and the historical instrument, the serpent. All pieces are commissioned works and world premieres by a diverse array of composers, ranging from established figures such as Joji Yuasa and Yuji Takahashi to Takashi Tokunaga, Osamu Kawakami, Kazutomo Yamamoto, and Masamichi Kinoshita. As two highly accomplished musicians who specialize in contemporary music but are also active in other genres, the sound unfolding primarily in the lower registersstarting with the opening track, Emotional Polyphonyis remarkably fresh. Its hard to believe there are only two performersthe timbre and range of sound are so incredibly rich! With ultimate melodies intertwining, and the two often creating harmonies together, this is a performance packed with highlights at every turna true feast for the ears!intoxicate
