“Composing is giving meaning to that stream of sounds that penetrate the world we live in” , in short the credo of Toru Takemitsu.
Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996) is one of Japan’s foremost 20th century composers, an innovator combining elements of oriental and occidental philosophy to create a sound uniquely his own, fusing opposites together such as sound with silence, the east with the west.
This new recording presents Takemitsu’s complete works for piano solo. The titles speak for themselves: Rain Tree Sketch, Clouds, Breeze, Uninterrupted Rests, Far Away…music of great originality, opening new worlds of sound and consciousness.
Lukas Huisman is one of Belgium’s foremost pianists specializing in unusual and often contemporary repertoire. He successfully recorded for Piano Classics the Symphonic Nocturne by Sorabji.
