"The music of Toshio Hosokawa invites us on a poetic journey of knowledge he has made throughout his life by bringing the cultures of East and West into dialogue.” (Paco Yáñez) From his fascination with the dynamic soundscapes of European orchestras to his immersion in the serene and intricate tapestries of traditional Japanese music, this album reflects Hosokawa’s very unique music. Marked by its lyrical beauty and reverence for nature, he transforms the saxophone into a voice that transcends geographical and temporal boundaries, creating a dialogue between light and darkness, silence and sound.
