This Blu-ray sampler with carefully selected concerts accompanies Seiji Ozawa's impressive career over 3 decades. Seiji Ozawa was not only Japanâs best-known conductor but also the founder of the Saito Kinen Festival in Matsumoto, which in 2015 was renamed the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival. Special feature included in this edition from Matsumoto: on the occasion of Maestro Ozawaâs 80th birthday, Martha Argerich and Matthias Goerne joined the orchestra to perform Beethovenâs Choral Fantasy, Op. 80, plus a rendition of âHappy Birthdayâ - a deeply emotional moment for the Maestro!
