Toshiro Mayuzumi [黛敏郎] (1929~1997, Japan)
フルート、ピアノ、弦楽のためのセレナード・ファンタスティック
Sérénade fantastique pour flûte, piano et cordes
00:00 1. Introduction et romance 序奏とロマンス
09:59 2. Intermezzo et danse (unfinished) 間奏曲とダンス（未完）
Nobuhito Onishi, flute
Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra
Ichiro Saito, conducting
Recorded: November 2, 2012 (Live) at SHIRAKAWA Hall, Aichi pref.
Mayuzumi is known for Japan's first electronic music, Maurice Béjart's ballet music, the opera "Kinkakuji" based on Yukio Mishima's novel, and the "Nirvana Symphony," which was also performed by the Berlin Philharmonic.
However, the "Sérénade fantastique," a flute concerto, is composed long before those works, in the summer when he was 17 years old. The overflowing young talent, the tremendous multi-tonal sound, the sudden appearance of Haydn's serenade quotations, etc... These were all too much of a departure from the international musical context of the time. Perhaps because of this, the work was not understood by those around him, and it was not completed until the middle of the second movement.

*The first performance on November 2, 2012 by the Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ichiro Saito, with Nobuto Onishi playing flute solo (this recording, included in 3SCD-0013 "Japanese Orchestral Works 100th Anniversary Live!")
Afterwards, errors in the score were found and the work was revised and performed again on September 13, 2014 by the Orchestra Triptyque, conducted by Hiroyuki Mito, with Rie Mukai playing flute solo, and the performance is included in 3SCD-0019 "Japanese Great Masters through the String Orchestra."
　黛と言えば、日本初の電子音楽、ベジャールのバレエ音楽、三島由紀夫原作のオペラ《金閣寺》、ベルリン・フィルでも演奏された《涅槃交響曲》等が知られる。この作品はそれらよりずっと昔、黛敏郎が17歳の夏に作曲したフルート協奏曲である。溢れんばかりの若き才能、多調性の凄まじいサウンドや突如現れるハイドンのセレナーデ引用等、当時の国際的な音楽状況からしても、あまりに逸脱した音楽である。ゆえに周囲の理解を得られなかったのか、第2楽章の途中で未完のまま終わっている。

※2012年11月2日、大西宣人フルート独奏、斉藤一郎指揮セントラル愛知交響楽団により初演（本音源、3SCD-0013『日本の管弦楽曲100周年ライヴ!』収録）。その後譜面のミスなどが見つかり、再校訂され、2014年9月13日に、向井理絵フルート独奏、水戸博之指揮オーケストラ・トリプティークによって再演された。その模様は、3SCD-0019『絃楽オーケストラで聴く日本の巨匠たち』に収録されている。

Thank you for posting this little-known work. If you have the recording of the corrected score, could you also post that as well as Teizo Matsumura's "Morning Song" from the same CD (3SCD-0019)?
