Welcome to another edition
of the Sunday music series.
We continue our September
feature on composer Toru Takemitsu with a version of his 1974 piece “Gitimalya”
(sub-titled “A Bouquet of Songs”). “Gitimalya” is scored for marimba & orchestra;
here the marimba is played by Luigi Gaggero, with the accompaniment of the
Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin.
There’s a lovely &
brief write up about this composition at Allmusic, which can be found at
this link.
Hope you enjoy it.

He had a real talent for writing "approachable potentially difficult" music, if you know what I mean. I didn't know that one!
