A Composer's Journey

R. Max Totten | San Francisco, Ca United States | 01/15/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sakamoto, RyuichiRyuichi Sakamoto masterfully blends a luggage full of orchestrated poetic commentary and sound bits from the 20th century to create a trip of a lifetime. The skillful way he has constructed the methods to expose life's inter meanings and human existence is a huge task to say the least, however with ticket in hand this is one trip you won't forget! The intermingling of a variety of languages, express to the listener the urgency that we are all one planet. From the orchestrated cliffs to the lakeside poets brings a clashing of ideas that can only dissect and create a whirlpool of emotions that brings the listener to experience a total assault on the senses. The operatic and chamber vocals found though out weaves the catalyst to LIFE ....... Ahhhhh Sweet Life! (Note) : I had gotten both performances and the differences are tonal, where by "Tokyo" was crisp and spacious in it's environment. "Osaka" was dense in sound and intimate."
