In particular, he has actively highlighted the works of Japanese composers—a focus he has dedicated himself to as a lifelong pursuit—introducing pieces by Sadao Bekku, Saburo Moroi, Akio Yashiro, and others.\nThis recording features Toru Takemitsu’s masterpiece “November Steps,” which was performed in 2024 with two of Japan’s leading virtuosos: Fujiwara Dōzan on the shakuhachi and Tomoyoshi Tsurushin on the biwa. This is a valuable recording featuring a work that Japan proudly presents to the world, performed by a distinguished conductor and a group of master musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484267602209,"sku":"4549767377179","price":98.0,"currency_code":"PEN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4549767377179.jpg?v=1789046535","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-pe\/products\/4549767377179","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
