Yes, it was one in a series dedicated to his complete works. The others were for chamber music, etc. Although I believe incomplete, the volume I bought was for all his 60s/70s films. 6 discs in total, I haven't even gotten through them all yet, but needlesstosay, he was the master.

Having just picked up a massive boxset of his film scores, I can confidently say that this man could do no wrong. Saying he was a genius just doesn't suffice. He was a God among insects.

    You know you're right Nishimura. I feel inferior when it comes to assessing the works of Takemitsu. To me, his grace and reveries can't simply be put into words - His music defies language.
