The "Takemitsu sound" conducted by the young Ozawa is a meeting point between the East and West avant-garde.
A historic album where modern orchestra meets contemporary Japanese music.
Seiji Ozawa meticulously recreates Toru Takemitsu's orchestral works with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. With the addition of Yuji Takahashi on piano, a sound world is created in which tranquility and tension coexist. This monumental recording demonstrates the presence of Japanese avant-garde music on the international stage at the time.
