  2. Hi! I really appreciate this blog! I have a symphonic rarity from Japan, perhaps it is no longer found anywhere. Can I give it to you?

    2. Hi! I upload the recording in WeTransfer here

      The last composition "Movements in Metamorphosis" is a single track and not in separate cues.

      If you like this japanese composer, there is a Naxos recording of Piano Concerto and others orchestral works. A recording of suites from Seven Samurai and Rashomon also exists, with National Symphony Orchestra and Masaru Sato as conductor, it is rare. Unfortunately, i don't have both recordings.

      Thank You, have a nice day!.

    3. They are these recordings:

      https://www.discogs.com/it/release/10161837-Humiwo-Hayasaka-Hiromi-Okada-Russian-Philharmonic-Orchestra-Piano-Concerto-Ancient-Dances-On-The-Lef

      https://www.discogs.com/it/master/805913-Fumio-Hayasaka-The-Seven-Samurai-Rashomon-Original-Motion-Picture-Scores

      The last one exists with different covers and editions, sometimes without the name of the conductor (i know he is Masaru Sato).

      Maybe someone can share those recordings in flac...

      Bye!
