A beautiful combination of traditional Japanese music and contemprary western music! I would say absolutely other-worldly in its depth and width. Painfully beautiful and gripping, yet soft and gentle, yet majestic but so so so close to the heart it is close to ones grave… This is beauty.
This has to be one of the most unusual yet remarkable violin concertos ever written. No showmanship from the soloist necessary as this hypnotic work needs none of it. Each note eventually becomes more important than the last. Amazing. A silent audience is needed to perform this piece or some idiot who should have stayed at home will ruin it completely.
Somei Satoh (佐藤聰明 Satō Sōmei?); (born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, January 19, 1947) is a Japanese composer of contemporary traditional music (gendai hōgaku). His compositions mix Japanese court music with European romanticism and electronic music.[1] He studied at Nihon University of Art in the early 1970s[2] and is primarily self-taught in composition. He wrote his violin concerto for Anne Akiko Meyers. He currently[when?] lives in Tokyo.
you have to work to hear this. this is the fifth or sixth time I've listened and today is first time I was able to follow the arc. it is very beautiful, butnot relaxing. itis tense, on the verge of something and then withdraws, very challenging. some joy more loneliness. it does not reach the stark desolation of schnittke. as we move to finale it is uplifting not ebullient and then fades. peace out.
@@enriquesanchez2001 : It is true, but here the characteristic humorous element of John Cage is missing. In my opinion, this composer is closer to Morton Feldman, and both, Feldman and Cage, to Erwin Schulhoff (e.g. "in Futurum")
Charmante & profonde musique brillante de mille feux sous la couche du temps perdu, magnifiquement jouée, ravissant tous les sens !! Merci pour ce contenu précieux
Very interesting work. I really like it! At times tho there's that heartbeat. I wish that wasn't there. I'm listening with headphones and it makes me feel like my blood pressure is too high.
Guauuu!!! Muy interesante trabajo. La escucha atenta de esta obra te trasporta a dimensiones superiores de la conciencia, donde el silencio se presenta como lo misterioso tremendus et fascinans!!!
yeah, there is no relaxing while this is playing, all my focus is on it! such a great concert! I will relax eventually after I listened to it 10 times more :D
Thank you ... I was going to write a letter for a friend and listen to something whilst writing , but this piece became the centre of my moments , could not write anymore , the music over took me completely with its presence , the tympani which beats like heart beat all the way through , so rich , kind and peaceful ... Somei Satoh you have reached the enlightenment , Zen is in shining in your music ...
In the first part of this song, I imagine someone hiding behind a wall peering at something, maybe a large hall, and then something very sinister moves by.
Less is More! I couldn't help think the colors and shapes of the music are just like Hokusai. This is beautiful stuff. God bless RUclips because I found this by chance. Pass the saki. I'm staying for dinner....
Somei Sato, violin concerto(2002), dedicated to Anne Akiko Meyers. Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra conducted by Tetsuji Honna.Cover image is by Hokusai(1760~1849),world famous Ukiyoe painter.
MGH cnsGABA I am very proud that Anne Akiko Meyers lives in our beloved city " Austin " . She has a very distinct sound, I can immediately tell that it is " her " when I hear her playing. After terrible two storms, " HARVEY" and " IRMA " this music was so calming, peaceful, poignant and beautiful. Thank you.
The japanese label Camerata has a CD with this on it. The title is "Kisetsu. Works by Somei Satoh" (CMCD-28032). More info can be found for example on discogs.
God... If wish I could watch this in concert... I wish this was in a concert, and I had money. Never in my life I thought this kind of style could be so good and interesting. At the same time, it was also a bit creepy; It messed up my sense of time temporarily. When I reached the end, I saw the time counter and I feel like the time was ticking twice as fast as usual.
thank you , I am so touched with his composition and the sensetive performence , so unusuall to have so much silence ... doe sany one knows what was satoh inspiration behind this when he compose it for the vilonist ?
Un sonido molesto, similar al que ocurre cuando pasa uno el dedo en el borde de una copa llena con agua. No es terrible, sin embargo. Los altos y los bajos lo tensan a uno, pero el efecto es grandioso, no obstante, no es para todos los oídos.
As the Earth recedes, where is this "thing" going? I believe a man made object just recently escaped our solar system. Will it ever encounter anything else? Wandering for Eternity? Maybe the Universe has more "nothing" than "something."
Further: Will Entropy, or Gravity ultimately win out? If Gravity rules, this "thing" will encounter something else and accrue to its being. If "Entropy" rules, this "thing" will wander forever.

it is absolutely beautiful, Somei Satoh's imagination is beyond this life.
all is breathing.. this is stunningly astonishing.

You are right.
I liked how silence sounded like music in this concerto. Amazing!
John Cage said so. ♥

What a wonderful, earthy piece.
NO..
thanks...
It is a wonderful musical work and performance!
Each time I listen to this piece, it sounds more incandescent.
Very interesting work. I really like it! At times tho there's that heartbeat. I wish that wasn't there. I'm listening with headphones and it makes me feel like my blood pressure is too high.
Such an atmosphere, super! Thank you so much for sharing!
i really love the picture
So beautiful, magnificent. I will carry this in my heart for a long time. It is what one hopes that music can attain. Thank you!
El silencio como elemento discursivo. Hermoso.
Thank you, this is thrilling music. The last "message" of this concerto beginning somewhere around 23 00 is so touching. Beautiful.
i love the stuff you post. thank you
Magnifique merci
Guauuu!!! Muy interesante trabajo. La escucha atenta de esta obra te trasporta a dimensiones superiores de la conciencia, donde el silencio se presenta como lo misterioso tremendus et fascinans!!!
I have to focus on this instead of relaxing to this. It is very interesting, like trying to understand music all over again.
Very perceptive comment.
Fine distinction.
Good point.
Thank you.
I will now think about it while listening
(not "relax into it")
Thanks, I've discovered wonderful music
the first part is beautiful, but then it becomes soporific !
This is wonderful music, so glad to have discovered this composer, thank you for posting! I feel like I hear more of Gorecki than Rhim.
wow. this is well done. sounds very original.
yeah, there is no relaxing while this is playing, all my focus is on it! such a great concert! I will relax eventually after I listened to it 10 times more :D
I always use music to bury my pain. This time I wanted music that could help me understand and confront it. Thank you for giving me just that.
No, thank YOU for the personal narrative. Sheds a whole new light on this composition, and music in general!
Thank you ...

So splendid

Vive la vie..., Thierry

Was able to find it on the net. It seems it's by Hokusai - no surprise. But this image is mounted on a scroll, it seems? Lovely work.
Rhim's style...Wolfgang Rhim...very much like that....Experimental and inspiring stuff...thanks for posting.
Who is Wolfgang Rhim
can't find a record , there must be one !
There is a Japanese release, which also includes Kisetsu and Kyokoku.
The japanese label Camerata has a CD with this on it. The title is "Kisetsu. Works by Somei Satoh" (CMCD-28032). More info can be found for example on discogs.
.... and I found home - Nu Mo :)
This is amazing.
Great piece. It's a shame that I haven't been able to get on cd, and it isn't on any music streaming service. Thanks for sharing it!

I can hear the violin breathing.
Violin solo accompanied by bass drum... so unusual.
My friend brought me here
thank you , I am so touched with his composition and the sensetive performence , so unusuall to have so much silence ... doe sany one knows what was satoh inspiration behind this when he compose it for the vilonist ?
11:00 - 12:30
wow I like that
I think I should apologize to Somei Satoh, for thinking that he was a inferior composer (30 years ago, it may be)
10:54
12:53
Toute la subtilité nippone !
Very much like Rim's style...any note and jumping any time to the next...
It's Rihm
Who is Rihm
Love the painting - who is it by and from when? Anyone?
NovaScotiaChick
Hokusai, japanish painter, admired by Van Gogh...
😆👍✨♥️♥️😁🎵
underrated composer yes he s a bit like Rhim but who cares !!! great music
Who is Rhim
Ma.
...
One hears the living pulse of music. Eerily profound and intense in its purity, it is almost uncomfortable to listen.
not to be uncouth but who in fact is playing violin?
Anne Akiko Meyers
Un sonido molesto, similar al que ocurre cuando pasa uno el dedo en el borde de una copa llena con agua. No es terrible, sin embargo. Los altos y los bajos lo tensan a uno, pero el efecto es grandioso, no obstante, no es para todos los oídos.

Nur lange Noten, zu eintönig!
TO PUT IT SIMPLY, TERRRIBLE.GOOD LISTENABLE WORTHWHILE
MUSIC STOPPED 50 YEARS AGO !!!!,
