Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden – Toru Takemitsu / Tashi / Boston Symphony Orchestra / Seiji Ozawa – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Toru Takemitsu’s music is a journey into the depths of sound itself, and this album, featuring ‘Quatrain’ and ‘A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden,’ captures the Japanese composer’s singular vision at its most evocative. Performed by the esteemed Tashi ensemble and the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the sensitive baton of Seiji Ozawa, these works shimmer with Takemitsu’s trademark blend of Eastern and Western sensibilities. ‘Quatrain’ is a dialogue of color and texture, each instrument weaving in and out of the ensemble with painterly precision, while ‘A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden’ is a marvel of orchestral imagination—subtle, mysterious, and utterly transporting. This recording documents a meeting of master interpreters with one of the late 20th century’s most poetic composers, making it a must for collectors who crave music that rewards close, meditative listening. Owning this album means holding a rare artifact of cross-cultural artistry—a recording that reframes what Western Classical music can be, and a sonic experience that lingers long after the final notes fade.
