Catalog #:	MODE 135CD

'From the Depth of Silence': for two tubular bells and orchestra; 'Burning Meditation': for baritone and string orchestra; 'Kyokoku': for baritone and orchestra; 'Kisetsu': for orchestra. "Somei Satoh has emerged as one of Japan's most highly acclaimed composers. Filtered through Toru Takemitsu's cross-cultural prism, his work shares similarities with the post-Minimalism of composers such as Arva Pärt and Henryk Gorecki as well as the sacred music of iconoclasts such as John Tavener. All this to say that Satoh's music is dramatic, powerful and unabashedly gorgeous without descending to melodrama and the wearing of his heart on his sleeve. This disc marks the first recording of Satoh's music for orchestra."
