I used to listen to this and sit in my living room to watch my plants grow, they were healthy plants! I think my plants liked Yoshimatsu's music too !

I love especially her Schubert and Brahms.

[@burton48]

Takashi Yoshimatsu has a way with the piano. Very enjoyable.

[@dimitriskontos4992]

That's music of high aesthetics. Real pleasure. And great playing, also.

[@mvdbergrede]

Really amazing! It reminds me very much of Bartók's Mikrokosmos. Bartók's harmonies use much more dissonance though. This is like Bartók but a bit more accessible. There's some really beautiful pieces in here though.

[@goldjoinery]

mvdbergrede A lot more accessible.

[@user-74652]

Very interesting music. There is something I like very much about Japanese musicians.

[@lauris570]

Really beautiful... know yourself in these melodies

[@musicnormaerazo9276]

Great music, fully alive! sometimes tender, sometimes soothing,clear like water, playful as small children, loving, full of color, a real ode to piano music. Thank you to Takashi and Kyoko. Thanks also to the publisher and KZbin!!!!

人類が人類以外の生命種を侵さない契約を信ずるに足る希望を想起させる絢爛たる色彩の密度の高い静止画像、のようなイメージの断片が、次から次へと　閉じた瞼の幕に浮かびます。己を見失わずに済む大きな感動を得る事ができました。ありがとうございます。

[@DreamyJuly17]

As beautiful as a kiss.

[@CARDAVMX]

Hermoso sin duda, no había sentido lo mismo desde que escuché a debussy cuando era niño.

[@iuliangogu6217]

Favourites (rough timings) (this was influenced by the times when I was paying attention): 17:20 20:55 25:30 44:20 46:00 49:35 (quite chickeny) 57:30 The award for best myth about the Pleiades star constellation goes to the Monache people, who tell of six wives who loved onions more than their husbands and now live happily in "sky country". Honourable mention to Thailand: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades_in_folklore_and_literature#Asia

[@sachs9585]

MissInformati0n good choices :)

[@hinakomalin]

I'm still looking for it all over the place. And now my latest search led me here into this video instead.

[@miss_kpop345]

A Japanese pianist friend gave this to me on minidisc, which i lost some years ago when the label fell off. So glad to have found it again! Really beautiful and evocative of Japan (or at least it is for me!) Thanks.

[@TheJcfclark]

Takashi Yoshimatsu is a favorite of mine. Thank you for uploading.

[@amielgonzaga5239]

Muy bella música. Me recuerda a las piezas de Chick Corea y a las danzas eslavas de Bartók.

[@c1trax]

The painter is Paul Jenkins

[@Tangerine__blue]

messer citrazzo what does that paint means?

[@telescope-lens]

Its title is "Phenomena Sun over the Hour Glass" painted in 1966.

[@rodparisst]

Pregunta ociosa. Lo que el espectador siente; ése es el sentido.

[@darcsaster]

[@sidogr9854]

sehr gut ! Danke schon :)

[@billyb6043]

would love to hear a collaboration between Kyoko/Takashi and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra

[@tamakitsukada6220]

I think Yoshimatsu has successfully imparted a distinct flavor of space and universe thanks to the time signatures with top numerals of prime numbers (5, 7, 11...)

[@b194pg]

Wonderful, delicate music

[@BknMoonStudios]

Really enjoyed this whole album. In particular, Dance Toward East. (22:57) Mr. Yoshimatsu is extremely talented. Just found out about him thanks to KZbin Recommendations. How curious...

[@rodparisst]

Misterioso. Enigmático. Exótico.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

this is so great. Noel in Midnight (36:54) is my favorite.

[@eYeMarshall]

amazing. the moment i saw ixis' question, i thought - hey, that looks like paul jenkins. what is ur connection to that artist? i discovered his work in France in th 80's. he is not super famous (i wonder if he's still alive) but has a recognizable style (obviously) :) i'm also a big fan of takashi yoshimatsu. cheers.

[@amielgonzaga5239]

Most beautiful piece: 46:00

[@aonaka6881]

[@MaryAnnpianoplayer]

......Beautiful......

[@lescordesduninstrumentquis630]

Hello, I am researching musics of that type, I would like to discover new authors similar to this one - I love Ryuichi Sakamoto or Hisaishi, I try to understand music of Takemitsu, does someone know others authors of this type of "contemproain classical music" ?

[@wojtekhappywarrior1]

[@where.is.m]

My favorite is Romance from the past 2:56

fine composer strongly influence by early french music not influenced by the stuffy serialist at all

[@b_nadams]

Does anyone know if the Pleiades Dances VII, VIII and IX have ever been recorded?

[@Dhyan69]

Good question, I would love to hear them too!

[@b_nadams]

+Dhyan69 I've found them, recorded by the same artist as this version, Kyoko Tabe. www.amazon.co.uk/Pleiades-Dances-2-Kyoko-Tabe/dp/B00005LCJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456080382&sr=8-2&keywords=kyoko+tabe

[@bruncher11]

Ben Adams: Thank you very much! I love the CD in this posting, having discovered it in a record shop and first asked the shop owner to play it on his hifi system. It took me a few minutes, then I bought it. Another customer wanted to buy it immediately after me. Never knew about a spin off recording.

[@wcm05]

Does anyone know what the image being used for the video is? Who's the artist?

[@vraellar]

wcm05 paul jenkins

[@ltzmin]

Best part (the whole 1h 7 mins 19 secs, but), 23:00 - 25:20

[@ixisx.7240]

Please: could anyone tell me who the painter is?

[@alicerosetti3266]

Soberbio

[@Missingnin69]

The first movement is quite reminiscent of the first movement of Yoshimatsu's work for Guitar, Water Color Scalor.

[@ryguymdphd]

This video makes me hungry. Fancy music always goes great with anime.
