<hr>
Here's another masterpiece for you... I do love it when a composer is offered a massive recording budget, a bit pot of money, and is asked to just do whatever the hell he wants to do. You tend to end up with pieces like this; true 21st century masterpieces. My knowledge of Yamato music is limited (well, non-existent) but I understand that this symphony incorporates melodies from previous Yamato incarnations -into four splendidly structured movements that feel like they've fallen straight out of the late romantic classical period. The fourth movement in particular becomes a mini concerto for piano, violin and orchestra. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING STUFF.
The 2009 recording is overall superior but this one was first and has a special charm all of its own - and Haneda himself at the piano. It's great to have it, particularly as it has been properly remastered and is sounding INFINITELY better than its earlier CD release. A rare thing; a Japanese remaster with dynamic range that actually surpasses the original release in every way.
