I'm having trouble downloading them through RapidShare right now, so just wanted to ask: how big are the Artwork scans included?

Thanks, but where are the links for the 5, 6 and 7?

Great compil of one of the greatest composers of film music. I love most of these movies. Thank you very much.:D

(conarda, a little patience!)

Part 5 is now up.

I'm adding the artwork disc by disc. They are around 10-20 MB each. If it helps I can post later all the artwork together in one link.



Great compil of one of the greatest composers of film music. I love most of these movies. Thank you very much.:D


He was a unique composer with his own distinct style, and although he worked on more than ninety movies, his main activity were on the concert works outside of film music.
Probably his most well known composing for film was Ran. It is not included in this set, but I posted the soundtrack on the first hunt thread.

Here's the post - RAN (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/film-score-vgm-hunt-thread-40522/597.html#post1294950)

Absolutely FANTASTIC!

Here's the post - RAN (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/film-score-vgm-hunt-thread-40522/597.html#post1294950)

Already taken! Thanks again.:D

Posted Part 6 and Bonus Disc. The set is all up now.

Many thanks Sanico for disc 7. I have CDs 1-6 (bought individually at HMV in Sendai, Japan, in 1991) and didn�t know before there was a bonus disc. Takemitsu is one of my favourite composers and his haunting music for the film Ran, played brilliantly by the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, is a classic. There is also a fine exhaustive book �The Music of Tōru Takemitsu� by Peter Burt.

Thanks again.

Great Works and many Thanks.Have you ever heard of COMPLETE TAKEMITSU which Vol 3 and 4 are his Movie Musics in 21 cds?

wow, thank you so much dude. Downloading e listening.
:)

Well this is the first time i was called dude lol, but no worry next time you can call me dudette ;-)

Enjoy the music dudes and dudettes of the shrine :)

jediscore do you have the complete sets ? impossible to find and very expensive...

dankster I heard about the complete set from one site and hope that someone here might share them. (only hope, may be)

Thank you!!!

Thank You.

I don't know much Japanese cinema from the 60's and the 70's but I like Takemitsu's works, including his classical music for piano for instance. So I wanted to thank you for this post, this is definitely not middle-of-the-road film music if I may say so... Tnx a lot

Thanks for the great music. I have a few of these discs, but didn't know about the bonus disc.

Hi, the links are now obsolete. Could you please re-post them? Thanks.

It's gonna be a daunting task, but i can re-upload them all yes. Just don't expect anything soon because i have a few of others uploads to do, and the weekends is for me to do anything but waste time on UL's & DL's :D

In the next week or so i'll start to re-upload them all 1 by 1. Stay tuned.

Thank you so much Sanico!

A great collection of Master Takemitsu. Do you have the soundtrack of Rising Sun (1993)?, I'm looking for it in lossless. Thanks.

Thanks, Sanico!

CD 1 is added!

The next CD's will be re-up in the next days.

Enjoy :)

Added CD's 2 & 3

CD 2 link not working

Added CD 4 and replace the not working link of CD 2 with a new one.

Any link up to CD 4 must be working now.

Thank you very, very much for the effort of uploading them again. Hope you can finish with the rest. Thank you again!

Added a new link for CD 5.

I won't be updating this weekend. The remaining disks will be posted only next week.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the games :)

Added CD's 6 & 7.

All links are now working. Enjoy!

Some of Takemitsu's scores Ran and Dodesukaden come to mind are stellar.

I haven't listened to much of his non-score material to be honest.

Thanks for this!

Not only is he a great composer, but he has scored some amazing films too! Thanks for this! I need it in lossless!

Many thanks for the upload but links 1,2 and 5 are down again. Any chance of a re-upload? Thanks for your efforts anyway/

I second the request for reloads of 1, 2, and 5.

No worries, i will re-upload the broken links in the next days.

Added new link for disc one.

Much appreciated. Thanks.

New disc 2 link added.

New link for disc 5 finally added. All links are now working. Enjoy :)

If and when you find a broken link just let me know.

Thanks again!!

Thanks Sanico!

Does anyone know about a piece of music composed by Takemitsu that was used in the soundtrack for Cosmos, and was titled "Inside the Heart of the Universe"? I have searched for years for the original recording of this piece, and have never found any trace of it. I suspect the piece may have been renamed for the Cosmos soundtrack.

All I know is that the piece on Cosmos is an excerpt of a longer composition, and that it was performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra sometime prior to 1979.

You can listen to it here (http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/muvVivK82mw/). Anyone know where it is from?

After some digging, I think I have the answer to my own question. The music was from a Japanese TV documentary series aired in 1974 and 1975 titled in English "The Legacy for the Future."

The soundtrack to this documentary was released on CD in 1997 as "Mirai Eno Isan". It also appears in the collection "Complete Takemitsu Edition 5."

Does anyone have any idea where I could obtain either of these?

Wait, no Samurai Rebellion?

WOW! What a fantastic music collection! I don't even know how to thank you, Sanico! Thank you! Thank you!

Wait, no Samurai Rebellion?

No, this is all there is in this set.

No, this is all there is in this set.
Has Samurai Rebellion's score ever been released on LP or CD? Can't find it anywhere!

It was once in a suite arrangement for an LP compilation of Takemitsu music, but i'm not aware if it was ever released on CD, either the suite or the score.

I'm desperate for the Pale Flower soundtrack. I think he only made 14 mins of music for the movie, but it's fantastic. I think it only appears on Complete Takemitsu Edition 2. Anyone got that?

I don't have that set, sorry...

Thanks for this upload. I just watched Kwaidan and was wondering where I was ever going to find the score!

wow thanx for sharing this
and continuing to repost
they were all working for me just now
I am looking forward to this

>edit<
am listening now and it is really a great listen
thanx for turning me on to this all
very versatile
exceeds expectations
cheers

Fantastic - thank you very much

This is a magnificent set, some of the greatest music ever composed for any films. Does anyone happen to have the complete soundtrack release of Glowing Autumn?

If you ever have time, could you update the links? It would make my day! Thank you!

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Could you update the links one more time? It would really make my day! Thanks!

New links all added in the original post. Enjoy :)

Hi, there. Could anybody re-up this wonderful thread, PLEASE???
