Takashi Asahina (朝比奈 隆, Asahina Takashi, 9 July 1908 – 29 December 2001) was a Japanese conductor.

Person

Asahina was born in Tokyo as an illegitimate child of Kaichi Watanabe.[1] He founded the Kansai Symphonic Orchestra (today the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra) in 1947 and remained its chief conductor until his death in Kobe. Inspired by a meeting with Wilhelm Furtwängler in the 1950s, he began a lifelong attachment to the music of Anton Bruckner, recording the complete Bruckner symphonies several times. For many years, he was associated with the North German Radio Orchestra in Hamburg. In May and October 1996, he appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
