(translation from Japanese)

 

''It was an astonishing recital. Anna Hashimoto attracted and gently embraced the audience with her clean and pure sound in the soft extremes of playing. She has outstanding virtuosity and freedom.''

Tartini/Jacob Concertino

Charles Hine Conductor

 

''The Tartini/Jacob Concertino is beautifully interpreted by clarinet soloist Anna Hashimoto. Miss Hashimoto (b.1989) is one of several young clarinetists to emerge from England in recent years. She studies at the Purcell School with Michael Collins. Those who attended the 2005 ClarinetFest® in Tokyo will remember her premiere of Michael Daugherty's Brooklyn Bridge concerto at the event. On the Concertino here, she plays with beautiful tone and musicianship, as well as remarkable technical ease. Keep your eyes and ears open for Miss Hashimoto, who is certainly destined for a major career.''

Michiyoshi Inoue Conductor

 

''The Super Wind Orchestra performed with Michiyoshi Inoue, conductor in the Concert Hall. Among the members of this special orchestra were Wenzel Fuchs, Charles Neidich, Philippe Cuper, Julie DeRoche and Larry Combs as well as some leading Japanese clarinettists. They performed an exciting program of many of the band's standard works, plus Michael Daugherty's Brooklyn Bridge featuring a dazzling performance by Anna Hashimoto, solo clarinet. The entire program was fantastic''

Kelly Johnson, The Clarinet (ICA magazine), March 2006

 

 

''Michael Daugherty's new clarinet concerto Brooklyn Bridge was premiered (from memory!) by just 16 year old Anna Hashimoto. Her brilliant, sweet and humorous performance of this demanding work attracted a full house.'' (translation from Japanese)

''Especially noteworthy within this sold out concert was the clarinet concerto premiered by Anna Hashimoto. It was a confident and fantastic performance, and I was amazed by her limitless ability. She has certainly grown since last year's Japan Clarinet Competition.''
