R.I.P. Mr Tomita. You've more than earned it.
Isao Tomita is one of the musicians that I only discovered
all-too-recently. I eagerly caught up with his discography, and my
favourite work of his is the Planets suite. Will be listening to that
today.
I met his version of Pictures At An Exhibition while I was in high
school. I was studying that piece on piano with my piano teacher.
According to the Wikipedia article, his vinyl version of The Planets is
"rare".
I have both of those on original vinyl, now just need to get my
turntable working again.
