In Quatrain, scored for clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and orchestra, Takemitsu evokes the Japanese concept of ma—the space between things—through fluid shifts of timbre and atmosphere. He likened the work to an emaki, a picture scroll unfolding scene by scene, where each musical idea is independent yet interwoven.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA Flock Descends into the Pentagonal Garden, inspired by a dream, expands these ideas into a circular, non-linear sound world. Its “flock” motif, first heard in the oboe, descends into a shimmering harmonic field created by the strings—the “garden.” Here, Takemitsu’s sense of time and space becomes immersive and cyclical rather than progressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBoth pieces merge modernist innovation with deeply rooted Japanese sensibility. By embracing his cultural heritage within the structures of Western art music, Takemitsu reshaped the avant-garde, bridging modernism and postmodernism, and offering works that still sound strikingly fresh and timeless today.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMixed \u0026amp; cut from the original analogue 1 inch 8-track master tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney Claire Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLimited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classical\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/boston-symphony-orchestra\"\u003eBoston Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/seiji-ozawa-vinyl-records\"\u003eSeiji Ozawa\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/toru-takemitsu-vinyl-records\"\u003eToru Takemitsu\u003c\/a\u003e, Tashi\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Deutsche Grammophon\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_germany\"\u003eGermany\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classical\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/post-modern\"\u003ePost-Modern\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA Quatrain\u003cbr\u003eB A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43904524484673,"sku":"7790703","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/ADGR_40881__197539__03052026030734-7558.jpg?v=1777856111","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/toru-takemitsu-tashi-boston-symphony-orchestra-seiji-ozawa-quatrain-a-flock-descends-into-the-pentagonal-garden-363294","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
