Description:

[Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000] These are the masterpieces of classical music that have moved the world for 100 years! From Casals to Midori Goto, Sony Music's two major classical labels, Sony Classical and RCA RED SEAL, have a wide variety of classical masterpieces, classic discs, super discs, fixed discs, lost discs, odd discs, rare discs, and treasures, including new liner notes and some world/Japan first CD releases, at an astounding price! The series of two separate releases for 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set) will continue in 2016. Isao Tomita passed away in May 2016 at the age of 84, and this is his fifth original work. The "Tomita Sound," which became very popular with its free arrangements and sound compositions based on the motifs of famous classical pieces, is strangely fresh even to modern ears. The "Solaris Sea," which was based on his impression of Tarkovsky's science fiction film "The Planet Solaris" (1972), is one of the most iconic tracks on this album. ◆Time Limited Edition (until the end of March 2018) / Liner notes / Year of recording: 1977
