Ryuichi Sakamoto's first performance with a full orchestra in Japan in 16 years, "Playing the Orchestra 2013" was held on May 9, 2013 at Suntory Hall.
From the orchestral version of "still life" "Still Life - orchestra version" recorded on the album "out of noise" (2009) to the orchestral version of "still life" recorded on YMO's 2nd album "Solid State Survivor" (1979) and released at the time. The album also includes "Castalia", which was composed with the image of an orchestra at the time and is being performed for the first time with an orchestra, and songs from movies such as "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", "The Last Emperor", and "The Sheltering Sky". The album includes many masterpieces newly arranged for orchestra, including songs from films such as "Mr. Lawrence (Merry Christmas)," "The Last Emperor," "The Sheltering Sky," and others. This is a work that will allow you to fully enjoy the diverse sound world that Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano and full orchestra will expand.
