    Roger Woodward, keyboards & piano [LP 1973 & CD 1990 recordings]

    The first time I came across Roger Woodward and his playing was back in 1969 when I attended the Musica Viva Concerto in Australia, Woodward's birthplace. I was tremendously impressed by him, and promised I would compose a piece for him. I am extremely happy now that I have been able to keep my promise. I must also add that his playing on this record impressed me greatly.

    Sorry but I'm not so clever in ripping from LP
    (BTW this LP is very difficult to rip, with a lot of long silences…..)
    The wav files are not cleaned in any way:
    if the receiver know how to clean without erasing also what was recorded over the noise…
    please do it.

    Equipment used for A/D conversion:

    The piano has always played a central role in Takemitsu's music… the figures in Western music whose impact on Takemitsu have been greatest - Debussy, Scriabin and Messiaen - have all made major contributions to the the piano's repertoire.

    so everyone can evaluate by himself the 2 abyssally different approachs

    Both rippings packed as a contiguous multi-part rar, served by RS with 3% recovery record, redirected through tinyurl.

    Enjoy


    ps.: For the "complete" piano works one need "Rain Tree Sketch II (in memoriam Olivier Messiaen)", composed on 1992:
    it's on BIS CD-805 (1996) with Noriko Ogawa for 4:42 as pianist (very near to Woodward approach and with the Tôru consensus).
