Description:

Formed in 2015, the energetic duo Shoichiro Sotosono, one of Japan's leading euphonium players, and Tomohiro Nishikubo, a percussionist, are a unique duo. Their latest album on the Christon label features the two pursuing the possibilities of their instruments and developing a diverse approach from a variety of perspectives, including solo and ensemble work with other instruments. The album features music for euphonium and marimba, and includes not only works commissioned by the duo themselves, but also masterpieces that transcend genres, opening up a new era of harmony and musical interest born from the harmony of the unique sound colors of each instrument, as well as its further possibilities.
