About this product
In 2018, the music of Ozu's films has been revived by the Japanese pianist Miki Aoki. Spending most of her life abroad, she told me that Japanese composers and their works were not so familiar to her, but that she was very drawn to my father's music. My father's vintage works have been revived in this new era by a talented artist Miki Aoki. These piano works are absolute gems in every sense. I hope you enjoy the music of my father, Takanobu Saito, works which transcend into this new era. The beginning of the story of this album goes back to 2015. I was sorting through my father's belongings when I came across an old cassette tape. The tag on it said Ozu Yasujiro memorial piano album composed and played by Takanobu SaitoInch. I had no idea what this could be, and since I did not own a cassette tape player I could not listen to it. But the curiosity stayed in my head and I could not stop thinking about what might be on this cassette tape. I finally went out and purchased a new cassette tape player. On this tape was my own father playing the music from Yasujiro Ozu's films. There were main themes and polkas from the films InchTokyo StoryInch, InchEarly SpringInch, InchTokyo TwilightInch, InchEquinox FlowerInch, InchFloating WeedsInch, InchLate AutumnInch and InchAn Autumn AfternoonInch for all of which my father composed the music.Inch (Tamio Saito, son of Takanobu Saito)

I discovered Rimsky-Korsakov piano trio through the recording of David Oistrakh trio. Purely from curiosity I searched the catalogue of the Belaieff edition and came across number of beautiful works by Glazunov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Liadov and Blumenfeld. Most of these works are not commonly performed, particularly the short piano pieces. -Miki Aoki.
![Murena,Tony / Privat,Jo - L'integrale Paris Musette 1990-1997 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bc4f3977-5289-43ea-85fe-c90489682741.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Each album in the 3 album set Paris Musette is a reference for every fan of InchmusetteInch accordion in the whole world. This series initiated by producers Franck Bergerot and Didier Roussin for the tag founded by Patrick Tandin aimed to provide the best recording conditions possible for major artists in a genre that had fallen out of favour, despite the fact that their repertoire was nothing less than the 'world music' of France in the pre- and post-war years. The first 3 volumes in the series appeared in 1990, 1993 and 1997 respectively, and were phenomenally successful in making the accordion a desirable instrument again, not only in World and Jazz circles but also in popular song. Returning to it's origins, and once again a 'legitimate' style, the music of Paris Musette spread to Canada, the United States and Asia, while the musicians played on world tours. The series sold more than 100, 000 copies and was licensed to Sony for distribution in Japan.
