Kôsçak Yamada - Symphony in F Major "Triumph and Peace" (1912)

This rendition of Triumph and Peace was conducted by Takuo Yusaua with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

The Symphony in F major 'Triumph and Peace', which amounts to the first-ever symphony by a Japanese composer, was completed on 8th November 1912. It may be that the symphony initially had no title and was given the name after the outbreak of World War I in 1914. In any case, the work is true to its name.

I. Moderato - 00:00
II. Adagio Non Tanto E Poco Marciale - 8:45
III. Poco Vivace - 20:07
IV. Adagio Molto - Molto Allegro E Triofante - 25:56
