Seiji Ozawa, The Pioneering Japanese Conductor
Manage episode 401800165 series 2924017
Description
I would like to dedicate this episode to Seiji Ozawa, who passed away at the age of 88 on February 6th, 2024.
Fun Fact
After graduating from the Seijo Junior High School in 1950, Ozawa broke two fingers in a rugby game. Hideo Saito, his teacher at the Toho Gakuen School of Music, brought him to a performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, ultimately shifting his musical focus from piano performance to conducting.
