“

This release features Seiji Ozawa's 1977 and 1978 recordings of Quatrain and A Flock Descends into the Pentagonal Garden with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, both then premieres.
These excellent orchestral performances come not only as a revelation to the benefit of Takemitsu, but also for Ozawa, as well. At about the time he stepped down as director of the Boston Symphony, critics were blaming Ozawa for practically everything up to and including bad weather in Boston. Yet he had outstanding abilities in such music, and although other recordings of A Flock Descends into the Pentagonal Garden have come along since, none has been nearly as good as this one, and features the outstanding chamber group Tashi.
The filler is a surprise -- rare recordings of Takemitsu's early chamber music made for Polydor's Japanese affiliate in 1969. These pieces: Stanza I, Sacrifice, Ring, and Valeria, possess a "keeping up with the Joneses" quality in terms of demonstrating solidarity with the hyper-serialist trends then current in Darmstadt. Though even as Valeria strongly recalls the early music of Boulez, there are parts that are more reminiscent of Takemitsu's film music of that time. Additionally, it is a delight to hear the young Keiko Abe, playing vibes this time, and Yuji Takahashi playing an acetone organ of the kind popularized in Italian films of the early '60s.

Great post, but none of the servers works, as far as I am concerned. Without a premium account, I just get zero Byte files (with Safari, Firefox & Speed Download).

Megaupload is working fine here with only a Free Account.

Many thanks for posting this valuable and out-of-print recording!

CORRECTION 2011/03/06: I was wrong about Megaupload. Using JDownloader with a free Megaupload account, I got only three incomplete, unusable RAR files. Retrying, I got 'Limit Reached' and 'Connection Lost' errors, even though I haven't downloaded anything else from Mega today. I'll try again later.

I did work fine with a Rapidshare Premium account.
