Tōru Takemitsu: Nostalghia (1987)

[@the_real_vdegenne]

This is crazy I was playing one of your videos and lay on bed, then I felt asleep and dreamed for about 1 hours, the playlist kept on playing. I only remember the end of the dream now where I was running with my cousin, we were chased by some people I don't know why. We are running in his hometown where I used to go with my family to visit him when I was young. While we were running I saw one of the old telephone boots which are now completely nowhere to be found. When I saw this telephone boot I screamed to him "NOSTALGIA!", then I woke up. I was about to reach my computer to turn off the music and realized the current video title was Nostalghia. I am really surprised. Now I have the actual certainty that (classical) music is not just about trying to order sounds together to create something beautiful and apply a random title just to finalise it. These artists are really listening to their inner voice and using instruments to express thoughts and memories on the outside. Clearly this one entered in my dream and have talked to me about Nostalgia.

I am loving this composer more and more

[@darrylschultz6479]

@@LordDickens-xu5jw Yes,I think it's likely he means the composer of the music in the video he's adding his comment to? So not as wild a guess as you may have imagined!

[@darrylschultz6479]

@@LordDickens-xu5jw maybe-but he's not a name like Beethoven or Bach or Mozart that nearly everyone would be familiar with. He was unknown to me until I saw one of his videos on my phone while I was looking for more pieces by another Japanese composer Yoshimatsu.(Coz I've long thought the last movement of his Piano Concerto "Memo Flora" was one of the best pieces I'd found).

[@gerardbegni2806]

We can hear a very subtle interplay between the violin solo and the string orchestra. This is a noticeable exception in Takemitsu's works. Takemitsu LOVES the subtle merging/opposition of quite different sonorities (instruments/groups). The harmony is led by synthetic modes, as most often in Takemitsu's works.❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤🧡💛💚💜🤎💜💚💛🧡❤❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

Thank you very much for the upload,Takemitsu was one the most original, imaginative, subtle and versatile composers of the 20th century.

武満さんの素晴らしい作品を、愛してくれる方々がこれだけ世界中にいる事の嬉しさ…😊

[@notaire2]

Precise and beautiful performance of this somewhat mysterious concerto with silky sound of the violin solo and perfectly corresponding sound of the other instruments. The brilliant Maestro directs the compact and excellent ensemble in a ell-phrased tempo with effectively controlled dynamics. Truly fascinating!

[@_H_2023]

This is such a brilliant piece of music head and shoulders above some of his other works.

[@oscarortega2711]

This symphony harms my ears with delicious melodies.

Me encanta la música de Toru Takemitsu, uno de los mejores compositores del siglo XX. Establece como nadie un puente entre la música tradicional japonesa y la occidental. Merece la pena conocer su obra. En estos momentos, año dual España-Japón, es buen momento para conocerla. Arigato

Una obra de Toru Takemitsu que merece la pena, en mi opinion, ser escuchada atenta y serenamente.

[@notaire2]

Präzise und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses ein bisschen mysteriösen Konzerts mit seidigem Ton der Solovioline und perfekt entsprechenden Töne anderer Instrumente. Der geniale Maestro dirigiert das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Ensemble im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt faszinierend!

[@123must]

Es gibt einen Film von Tarkowski, der ebenfalls so heißt und von der Stimmung her gut mit der Musik harmoniert - die Musik gefällt mir 🧡💛🤍

[@MrCinemuso]

Surely im not the first to hear the sound of berg (especially the violin concerto) moving through this, but made takemitsus own voice

[@deandavis8987]

Also reminds me of Samuel Barber.

[@NothingFunnyAboutTheseCarpets]

Yeah, this piece is particularly romantic, expressively speaking. Berg also

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

A direct descendent of the Berg Violin Concerto. It has the same sensitivity to color and sensuousness. I keep expecting to hear the Bach chorale.....

[@maximearsenault5194]

Beautiful interpretation, but the piece is imitation Berg. I find that Takemitsu explores and is successful in all types of genres of classical music, but I'm still looking for his personal, pieces that reflect his inner self. Does he have one?

[@sologuitardeath]

His 5 solo guitar works are extremely unique in the repertoire. From different time periods as well: 1974, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995 (if I remember correctly).

[@texwiller4029]

Not saying if I like or not: the composition has not any eastern or asian straits.
