Molto sperimentale, un pezzo intrigante affascinante vera sperimentazione musicale. Vero capolavoro altro sempre con sta musica classica!! E basta bisogna uscire un bel po' dagli schemi troppo antichi nell' insegnare nelle scuole medie! Ok?
let's take this full circle: Debussy's interest in Balinese music, with its metallophones, pentatonic scales, and ostinatos, flows back across the oceans to Asia and finds resonance in the genius mind of Takemitsu. Don't give me no "orientalism" jive, it's all music!
Many thanks for posting. 素晴らしい。 It's nice to have a possibility to SEE this magnificent music, how the different percussion are set. The camera captures well the drama of Takemitsu's genius for narration. Actually very often when listening at Takemitsu, and perhaps because of his collaboration with Kurosawa Akira and Tsuchimoto Noriaki, I kinda see movies.
An extremely beautiful composition. The beginning at the flute solo obviously refers to "L'après-midi d'un faune" by Debussy. It is well known - and acknowledged by the composer - that his two main sources of influence were Debussy and Messiaen. The presence of sequences for percussions alone may be heard as an extended influence of Messiaen.
I think we've finally come full circle to the days of the cave man - the orchestra members are all dressed up, but the soloists don't even bother to tuck in their shirts
are you serious? if the guy is more comfortable untucked then let him, maybe it helps him be more agile with the instrument, or even if he just feels more comfortable physically then what is the issue?
Anyone knows the name of the instrument we see from 11:36 to 11:41? The score calls for Noah Bells, but I see the percussionists have decided to use some sort of bass chimes laid horizontally. I like their tone and resonance!
The author David Mitchell has named his next book after this composition, and it will not be published for 100 years. All I can hope is that my son is still alive when it finally comes out because I certainly won't be. What a boss move lol. What a dick move.... Now I'm sad.
Interesting use of timpani as a stand for bowls. Beautiful composition, not very good recording. They used so many video cameras, but the sound quality is miserable. The harp is not recognizable at all, for example.
For those interested, La Jolla Symphony and Steven Schick will be performing this piece in their concert on 2/10 & 11 in 2024.
the very best Takemitsu ...and that is saying a lot for such a wonderful composer

Bellissimo pezzo! 😮

Pure genius and what a wonderful and well directed orchestra!
Bravo, et merci !

No todo gira en torno a europa
I love how there is no real pulse to this music. Toru was heavily influenced by Debussy and this piece is so great
I would love to take a look at that score.
No wonder Stravinsky was impressed by him!
Ειναι ενα Αριστουργιμα και λυπαμαι που ειμαι η πρωτη που το γραφω.Σας ευχαριστω φιλε μας.

Always Amazing...
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Très beau Fascinant
Marvelous!
Juste Wow!
19:36 for one second I thought that was the Lawrence of Arabia soundtrack
This may be the only piece I know of that is written for every percussion instrument including the kitchen sink.
武満作品の中ではノヴェンバー・ステップス以来の最高の作品だと感じます！

Timely devotion to my brother.

Mi piacerebbe proporre nella scuola media? 😅
この曲完全にヤバい、、、昨日ライブに行ったが、完全にトラウマ状態、、
5:40 What is the name of this instrument?
the instrument being played in the frame is a marimba
Atually the is a marimba in the back and a vibraphone in the front.
I think you may have heard the steel drum. The video showed the marimba but the dominant sound came from the steel drum.
HOW IS THE NAME OF THE INSTRUMENT 16 MINUTES????????

The public always coughing

The most pretentious composition title in music history.
