In June, the fourth CD with orchestral works by Toshio Hosokawa was released on the Naxos label, including his trumpet concerto Im Nebel, which Jeroen Berwaerts recorded together with the Residentie Orkest under Jun Märkl.

Hermann Hesse's famous poem Im Nebel inspired Toshio Hosokawa to write his trumpet concerto, premiered in 2013 by Jeroen Berwaerts with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra under Jun Märkl. The trumpet stands for man, the orchestra symbolises nature and the mystery that surrounds it. Following the world premiere, Jeroen Berwaerts performed Im Nebel with various orchestras around the world with great success.
