What a beautiful sound! Such unique colors and feelings. Wonderful piece, wonderful composer, wonderful musicians playing. This is literally breathtaking.

Hypnotiquement belle !!!! Immédiatement accessible et transparente. Sons étonnamment contemporain contrairement à la rudesse agressive de beaucoup de musiques d’aujourd’hui exagérément lénifiantes ou inutilement brutales, empreintes d’une vacuité dont rien n’approche.

underrated composer beautiful and fresh

So You didnt know him? Maybe thats the reason why you think him to be underrated -what he isnt..

So underated! I'm so happy I found this amazing composer.

You just found him and so you think automatically he must be underrated? He isnt! Just you who discovered him just now...

Wonderful... Thanks to Yoshimatsu, who gaves us it as a gift (and to Borges, who shared it with us as a gift)!!

@SY L I agree. If it is just he was paid, it would not be as beautifup as this. He gave more than what is paid for him to compose. He gave his idea of what is beautiful experience (both ups and downs) through these sounds.

@MuseDuCafe why r u so edgy lol The gift here is clearly figurative

Well, you can be sure that this work was commissioned, paid for, and the composer, after the fact of the pay for the commision [should] continues get royalties for each and every recording and record sale. All of the musicians are paid, and the orchestra and soloist get residuals from the royalties from additional record sales and air plays as well. Other than that, yeah, they have all 'gifted' us with the splendors of their talents and a lifetime of hard work as professionals, lol. You don't expect composers or performers of this caliber to have some 'other' day job, I hope.

Simply phenomenal. What splendid journey. Thank you KDFC for playing this on the Saturday night modern music show, 10-12 pm pacific standard time, available online! (just want to share with everyone!)

First time hearing this. Terrific!🍷

Magnifico !

At about 21:45 the Adagio takes hold of me and I am carried on the music from that point on.

Hm... not /just/ a composer of music that sounds like third rate film scores. This is pretty good.

Infra underrated , his music is adictiv

who underrates Y.?

One person doesn't like good music supposedly... how on earth could they dislike this? (Edit): 2 now?!

👏👏👏👏👍🎶🎼🎻

bellezza ... al di là dei generi!

なんだかむしゃくしゃしてる時 吉松さんの音楽を聴くと心が浄化されます 不安定な世の中ですが、どうかご健在で…

ある作曲家の音楽が私にその影響を与えることを望みます。

A lot of this reminds me a lot of the soundtrack to Eyes Wide Shut.

More interesting ideas here compared to the piano concerto...the colors...vivid..bravo...

Daaaaamn this is great

I agree. beautiful.

4:21 11:21 4:45 5:27 6:22❤ 31:35

so damm exiting to listen! it made me laugh like an idiot from around 5mins in.

Ahh...the stars!! Lead me with your blinding lights for I am also blinded as heaven and hell.

Do you know where I could find the music for this anywhere? It's driving me completely mad!

I'm currently trying to track it down myself! Have you had any luck since posting this comment?

Here is a great part of this composer's discography: http://intoclassics.net/search/?q=Yoshimatsu

Came here from "cyberbird" and now I'm hooked

3:26 Now where did I hear that tune before?

Charlie Robertson-Boyd It’s Memo Flora! I thought that was so interesting as well

My brother is the star in my eye.

hey I see you commenting on Ades's Polaris about your brother too

I like from 27:00 to end

How could you leave out 26:03??

Is Fujioka the cellist. Anybody know?

Not for the sake of confusion. The conductor of the BBC Philharmonic is Sachio Fujioka and the soloist is Peter Dixon.

Fujioka is the regent and Peter Dixon is the cellist.

Fujioka is conduct

Who are the f****** 8 people to dislike this excellent piece of music?

nice

Domou Arigatou Gozaimasu

Does anyone know the image location?

@33timothy Thank you!

Enoshima

Thanks.

Néo-Classicisme ?

Rique Borges: You're right. It's considered Neo Romantic.

@Rique Borges Agree 🙄

I think this sounds too much like pop and film music so it can be called "neoclassical." Is it better to call it neo-romantic, perhaps?

ayyy lmao

奥山夏子

No

Yes.

ridiculous effects, over-sentimental, pathetic, only comprehensive as film music

How can this be pathetic.

Whats the absolute value of taste anyway.

What a burn! Imagine being compared to film music! Wow, that's such a bad thing to be compared to. Zing! Wow, as a composer I'd hate to be put in the same boat as film composers like Korngold, John Williams, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Miklós Rózsa, Bernard Hermann, Ennio Morricone, and those... film composers. Yuck. What horrible people those must be. May I congratulate you on your incredibly intellectual tastes, my liege?

Over thinking it a very, low power of imagination that you suffer from, try using more of your Right Brain Man!

Sounds like something the paris conservatoire people would say to Ravel
