OKADA/RUSSION PO/YABLONSKY CD Well known in his native Japan as a composer of over 100 film scores, including the The Seven Samurai, & acknowledged by Takemitsu as one of his most formative influences, Humiwo Hayasaka sought to combine common elements of Western gregorian chant & Oriental, Gagaku-like melodies. His 1948 Piano Concerto is written in a romantic style suggestive of Chopin & Rachmaninov. The first movement is a requiem for his brother & an elegy for the victims of World War II.
