Apart from Takemitsu’s introspective mood-pictures, this is unfamiliar music, authoritatively played and excellently recorded. Otaka’s Ravelian Sonatine leads naturally into the Messiaen-like soundscapes of Terauchi’s miniatures. The Ichiyanagi and Yashiro are more forceful, though the latter’s personal brand of serial writing will not be to all tastes.'
