HOSOKAWA, Toshio: Orchestral Works, Vol. 3 (Elmark, Eerens, Mihoko Fujimura, Tadashi Tajima, Basque National Orchestra, Märkl)

The orchestral triptych of Meditation, Nach dem Sturm and Klage is award-winning composer Toshio Hosokawa’s response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Meditation mourns the victims with a quiet song of sorrow, Nach dem Sturm uses shamanic elements to suggest stormy darkness and the hope of light, while the healing Klage seeks to connect our world with the supernatural. Autumn Wind unifies man and nature through the timeless sound of the shakuhachi.
