Guimet Room Music Concert “Brahms’ Four Great Symphonies”
2025.08.05-
FIRST SIGHT
An improved version of the spiral speaker Trochus, which was shown during Christmas at the Guimet Room 2024 (December 2024) and received a favorable response, will be released in August 2025. Designed by Dr. Hirohisa Mori and manufactured by Dr. Toshimasa Kikuchi, this back-loaded horn-type speaker has a tweeter built into the root of the horn, and is unique in that it adjusts the timbre with an inverse phase derived by an algorithm from the signal sound. The name “Trochus” is derived from the scientific name of the maculated top shell, Trochus maculatus, which is found in the seas around Japan. During the past six months since the first release of the speaker, we have pursued a better sound fidelity of the orchestra’s middle voice part, mainly by re-examining the tweeter mechanism.
For this new release, we are pleased to present four symphonies by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). In these works, the middle voice changes flexibly, sometimes lyrically, sometimes obsessively, and takes the listener into a world of fantasy. Can Trochus truly express this tone? We start by listening to renditions of these works conducted by Seiji Ozawa and to Karl Böhm. In the future, we will compare the differences in sound between the performances of various conductors.
