Takemitsu: Complete Works for Piano

[@lahm.verlassener]

I wholeheartedly worship the musical works of the great Toru Takemitsu.They make up my everyday living backround and I cannot live without them and I am endlessly beholden to him.

[@hundovir]

The composer whose works enabled me to finally appreciate the - is "avant garde" the right term? - Brilliant, beautiful music.

[@progrunner3094]

How come do you manage to find such gems, Brilliant Classics? Your repertoire of classical music archives is truly astounding!

Takemitsu is famous for the music track he provided for the superb meditative movie on Antonio Gaudi by Hiroshi Teshigahara. It is available on youtube.

[@stevo19991]

Its.... I don't know how to fully put into words all the emotions I feel right now... Thinking of a past, a present and even a future that may or may not have existed... Past lives I may have or think I experienced... Ethereal but daunting... A faint memory so gruesome, trying to come up from the depths on malice it was buried... Forgotten... For a reason.

[@pianofranck]

One of the best background music while working at home...

[@lahm.verlassener]

Yes ,you are thoroughly right !

[@jeandelpech5529]

a little more than that...🙂

[@gerardbegni2806]

Takemitsu's paino music is generally realy in his outcome. In addition, since we are accustomed to his fabulous orchestration, the sound of the piano solo creates another world, even if we recognize the melodix/harmonic style of his author

[@Scriabin_fan]

I love Takemitu's music so much. Thanks so much for uploading this! Also it's a nice touch that "Les yeux clos 2" was before "Rain tree sketch" in this vid, because i noticed that the last note of "Les yeux clos 2" is in the beginning chord of "Rain tree sketch" so it made for a really smooth transition lol. IDK if this was intentional, but I thought it was neat lol. (For reference i'm talking about 11:20)

Hoch kultivierte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser modernen und perfekt komponierten Klavierwerke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch etwas anmutigem Anschlag und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich intelligenter und genialer Pianist!

曲が美しい。 曲名が、美し過ぎて、詩的です。 コロナは、入って無いのですか？

[@BrilliantClassics]

Thank you. We're sorry, but this song is not included

[@bigbeautifullife7329]

@@BrilliantClassics thank you .Playing graphic notation requires being an expert in contemporary music. It's not the time for ordinary pianists to play. In the first place, it is not a score written by Toru Takemitsu. He came up with the idea, but it was written by another person. Yuji Takahashi called it a present. The relationship between the two was not very good.Takahashi recorded Corona.

Toru Takemitsu's piano songs are beautiful. The song title is too beautiful and poetic literary. Is "Corona" not included in the CD? Why? Pianist composer " Yuji Takahashi" played figure music for over 30 minutes. The composer Takemitsu was not expecting such a Incredible wonderful performance.

Yeah also Corona is a bit of a sensitive topic these days 😂

I find myself trying to balance on the edge of a razor! Do I like it or do I hate it? I'm continuing to listen hoping something will convince me, satisfy me, offend me. Like Schoenberg, in very small doses and only when I'm in that rare mood. It reminds me of a 2-year-old in a pensive mood "experimenting" at the keyboard, having just discovered the sostenuto pedal! After 10 minutes of it, I've decided it's not for me. Boring and lazy come to mind. I won't listen to more or put it on again. Okay, that's me, thank goodness there are other opinions so the rich and varied world of art survives in all its countless facets.

[@balladewilliams]

I encourage you to put that opinion to the test by listening to his orchestral music. 'A Flock Descends' for example - ideally while reading the score. He was a complete master of orchestration despite being almost entirely self-taught, and if you came back to these piano works after comprehending his use and understanding of timbres, harmony, you may realise that what he has in mind is something not at all "experimental" in that shallow sense you suggest. In fact, it's not uncommon to pick out very traditional, neo-romantic structural elements in his pieces. Take the first piece here: Rain Tree Sketches II. If you can't tell me where the main melodic theme starts and ends, and then gets developed, you were missing something rather fundamental to Takemitsu's technique - namely, his rather conservative structures. Don't get sidetracked by his focus on the sostenuto pedal - at least not at first. The proper 'way in' to this music is the same as with Schoenberg - there are actually very traditional ideas at play, if you give yourself time to listen to more pieces, and gain a broader understanding. With Schoenberg it's even easier - Verklarte Nacht is hardly even modernistic, so you can enjoy it on a superficial level. But it also shows you his mastery of harmony, orchestration, and late romantic structures, which should convince you he wasn't just messing about on the keyboard when he wrote his piano concerto. There's reason to the madness of Schoenberg and Takemitsu, except none of it is madness once you properly understand the reason. In fact, in the case of these two particular composers, much of it begins to seem rather conservative (with the exception of purely serialist works by schoenberg, and the Cageian pieces by Takemitsu at a certain point in his development).

[@rfyl]

And one thing that Takemitsu definitely was not, was lazy. Read his biography. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dru_Takemitsu

[@sosuzuki8]

Too arbitrary, too much empathy. I'm not sure this is what Takemitsu intended.

[@mrswimmyboy]

He created music he didn't intend?

[@sosuzuki8]

@@mrswimmyboy Yes, Takemitsu did create music he really intended. I'm talking about the way it is played here.
