ten years ago, Toru Takemitsu briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Eclipse (for shakuhachi & biwa)”. While no new Toru Takemitsu album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1991 tour in Africa. Toru Takemitsu had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Smart music for smart people.
I can’t stop humming along Eclipse (for shakuhachi & biwa). After about the third Viola Concerto “A String around Autumn” listen through, I began to believe this song is Toru Takemitsu’s essence.
