         Japan Tour 2005

       SQ returned from Japan on 28 November. We were there on the 10th times. It was    wonderful tour where Japan audience were fascinated.

       During 11 days we had six fantastic concerts (forexample Tokyo, Osaka, Shizuoka and    Nagoya) and some Master Classes.

       On the four Krassimir Stefanov stepped in because of Wassil Christov's illness.    Krassimir Stefanov is a principal trombonist of Opera in Sophia and he make's Soloclass    by Prof. Branimir Slokar in Bern. He studied all the programme for 10 days!!

       completed!

       Recording data: 18th to 21st of September at Bauer Studios (D)

       Publishing date: End of October 2005

       One glorious work is coming to life. The most technically difficult passages mixing    together with dramatic and breathtaking melodies. Yes, we are talking about the Opera.    Including arrangements from Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte", Rossini's "Wilhelm Tell", Verdi's    "Nabucco" and "La forza del destino", A. L. Weber's "The phantom of the Opera", etc.

       Our new CD is promising to be quite amusing. Nevertheless we are also just like you    astonished by the pure genius of all these great composers.

       We would like to thank the Bauer Studios (Ludwigsburg, Germany), our balance    engineer Gerd Puchlet and of course Obrasso Records. You proved again that you are the    perfect partners! Thanks a lot!

       And to all of you our listeners. Enjoy it!
