Toru Takemitsu - Waltz, from the movie

YouTube - Toru Takemitsu - Waltz, from the movie "The Face of Another"

he is a composer and he dont belong this sort of music WALTZ ? WHAT THE HELL ,my mind doubted becasue , the msuic i have heard from him were not WALTZ but a oriental music , this piece i would like you guy to share with it becasue this is not ORIENTAL music :cool:

So, uh... what? Are you saying he can't write a waltz because he writes "oriental" music? Or are you saying that you didn't expect him to write a waltz like this?

Either way, I'm completely confused as to whether you even like this...

Yeah, good piece. Anyone seen the movie?

No, but I may. Has a 8.2 on Imdb. I like Takemitsu a lot and haven't heard his film scores. This reminds me of some of the Godfather music.

Takemitsu had composed a lot of music not related to the japanese tradition, even in his film music. Unfortunately, he is not as recognised as he should be.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

If you don't know his music, you really ought to. It's all great. Especially the music for Ran. It's the perfect balance twixt gagaku (Japanese Court Music) and Western Orchestra music.

On a side note, has anyone seen 'face of another'?

Realy great music.
