One of the most delightful events in Summer in Matsumoto is Saito Kinen Festival that Seiji Ozawa started in 1992. I have never missed this festival since I moved to Shinshu, though getting ticket is incredibly difficult. Some of enthusiastic fans already start to queue up as early as 1 week before its tickets go on sale. This year, I got tickets of 3 different concerts of jazz on 12 Aug., chamber concert of this evening and the concert with jazz piano by Junko Onishi on 6 Sep.
Needless to say,this chamber concert was just marvellous. Especially, I was overwhelmed by Jacques Zoon's flute. He, who is originally Netherlander and has been playing in some world leading orchestras, has developed his own flute! This black instrument is made of wood, and, seems to have similar tone as Japanese traditional flutes make to my ears. I like its softened tone. Softened, it rather intensifies its presence.
