Free Music Notes for Satoh: Toward the Night
Free Music Review: transfixed
Hit: 5 Stars
Although the entire cd is excellent, I would point the listener toward track 3, "Homa", in particular. I heard this piece of music, once, nearly 10 years ago, and never forgot it. It has an unusually spare sound, a very quiet presence that seems to float, with the female vocalist's crystal clear voice arcing across the darkly luminous space painted by the string ensemble. It is achingly beautiful, a breathless piece of music, and almost too much to bear.
Satoh: Toward the Night Poster
Satoh (b. 1947) is a Japanese composer of unusual power and inventivenss; he may very well be T?ru Takemitsu's successor. In Satoh's case, however, the music is more traditionally Western than Eastern. Ruika (1990) is a work in the tradition of Miserere, by Michel-Richard Delalande (1657-1726), for cello and string orchestra. Toward the Night (1991) is for strings only, meant to describe dusk--of both the sunset and the sunset of humankind. It's still beautiful. Homa (1988) is for soprano and strings. This entire disc is a stunner. If you like Rautavaara or Takemitsu, P?rt or Schnittke, then Satoh is for you. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
