Eiji Arai - Solo Concert master

During a rehearsal break, we asked our Solo Concert master Eiji Arai for a passage of the music he'd especially like the audience to anticipate. He gave us a selection from the ending of Ein Heldenleben, by Richard Strauss (Commentary in Japanese).

Our assistant principal bassist Kayano Ogasawara shows us a place in Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben where a lot depends on the warmth that the bass can give (Commentary in Japanese).
