About
Toru Takemitsu is widely regarded as the greatest Japanese composer of the 20th century. After the appearance of Folios in 1974 he was acknowledged as a formidable master of writing for the guitar, bringing to the instrument a sensibility and imaginative flair which have seldom been equalled. In the Woods was his final composition. Shin-ichi Fukada and Leo Brouwer were both close friends of Takemitsu, and this programme includes Brouwer’s two heart-felt homages in his memory.

27th June 2014
Few composers so skilfully weave silence into the fabric of sound; in this way he could be compared to Mompou or Chopin...Guitarist Shin-ichi Fukuda’s playing is as impeccable and impressive as his credentials are, which is saying something. He was close friends with Takemitsu and similarly with Brouwer.
