Musically, it is the multi-media symphony equivalent to his later multi-media opera Life. In this sense, it can be seen as a precursor to the Zero Landmine project. In an interview conducted around then, Ryuichi Sakamoto claims to have composed the 4-movement orchestral piece during one hectic month in response to distressing reports about the African humanitarian situation at the time. The Japanese version has a remix after the main work.Ĭatharsis is the key word when describing Discord. Some movements are in an avant garde orchestral style, others are neo-classical with the final movement in Bertolucci style (and his voice is heard among other friends of RS within the piece discussing Salvation). I attended a 1998 NYC concert performance to debut the Sony Classical release in the since then badly damaged World Financial Center. Musicians are Fuminori Shinozaki, David Torn, DJ Spooky and Ryuichi Sakamoto and conducted by Yutaka Sado. Includes reviews of 2 shows which I wrote.ĭISCORD 97.7.2 ForLife/güt expanded CD, Sony Classical (US) SK 60121Ī live avant garde concert from 97.1 featuring the new piece Untitled 01.

RYUICHI SAKAMOTO LIVE PLUS
version of the limited edition box which contains a CD plus a CD3 at a hefty price only to later see the Japanese import, which cost more, but included a third CD of portions of Sakamoto's NYC 1988 concert. My version has a bilingual obi saying "playing the orchestra" and nothing else. version had a large sticker on the plastic wrap with the title and "very limited edition" printed on it. He said his obi said Sakamoto plays Sakamoto, which was the name of the concert. (the CD was in a thin case and the obi may have been different). Chuck Wheat tells me he has a presumably international version of the box that is similar to the Virgin America version. The Japanese box looks similar from the outside. The limited edition was a fancy cardboard box with die cut simulated wooden parts, rice paper, tiny rocks, CD3 mounted in the lid. It is still in print as a 2 CD set without the box or CD3 disc. Another of the Sakamoto releases with frusteratingly shifting contents. Those folks who made the cd/concert should have spent more time Rehersing The Orchestra, as the playing is a little sloppy by classical standards. Here you get to hear these pieces played by orchestra, instead of synths.Interesting and different sounding item. The remainder is mostly from Merry Christmas Mr.
