My wonky rip.

<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.

A true treasure! thank you :parrot:

p.d.: are you going to upload the YAMATO SOUND ALMANAC 1983-IV?

Much appreciated. 🙂 I can now start my Yamato Sound Almanac Collection ^_^ .

Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Thanks

Awesome! i have a question, i have seen a lot of soundtracks with the "-eternal edition-" what does that stands for?

Thank you share!

Just the Japanese marketing machine working overtime looking for superlatives to convince you this is the BEST POSSIBLE EDITION of this score… until next year when the exact same thing is released in a slightly different-coloured box with a two minute bonus track of Haneda whistling the Yamato theme whilst sitting on the toilet… and that’ll be the FOREVER ETERNAL ULTRA COLLECTION ~~ GREAT ❤ LOVE ☆ SOUND COLLECTION.

tango man is right. it does annoy me at some point. I used to consider want some eternal editions of some stuff, but now…. I think I will only buy an eternal edition when I am 90 years, because after that I will most likely enjoy it till I die xD

hahaaha, thank you for the info!

"FOREVER ETERNAL ULTRA COLLECTION ~~ GREAT ❤ LOVE ☆ SOUND COLLECTION!"

LOL!

Thank you!

Big thanks, Herr Salat!!!!
I’ll listen it!!! 🙂
