Many spanish people would always remember his beautiful version of Arabesco

review classic music.

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. enough to fight so just withdrew it. It
disappeared off the shelves just
before
I could get to a record shop to buy it (having heard a friend's copy). It
then
remained in limbo for very many years :(
Just because I happened to have a rather nice half-track stereo Brenell
at
the
time didn't mean I was going to take a copy - oh no :)
He did things very early, when the technology was in its infancy. The
music and interpretations he created were always in very good taste -- and
very very hard to do at the time. He was a true pioneer whose memory
deserves the highest respect.
