Ryuichi Sakamoto – Playing The Piano

It was quite nice to see that a few people on facebook/twitter seemed to appreciate the post of Chilly Gonzales’ “Solo Piano II” and it somewhat inadvertently reminded of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Playing The Piano” album. I’m not sure if he needs much of an introduction, if you are unfamiliar then you should read his wikipedia page (it does a far better job than I could). However, I’m pretty sure his “Playing The Piano” album isn’t that well known (especially in blogland) and basically, if you like Gonzales’ Solo Piano material… you will love this an awful lot.

Chilly Gonzalesの”Solo Piano II” のポストがfacebook/twitterで中々好評だったようで何より。その延長で思い出したのが、坂本龍一のアルバム、”Playing The Piano“。日本人なら彼の事を知らない人はいないと思うので紹介はパス。所が、このアルバムは意外に知らない人もいるかもしれません。(特にブログの間では) Gonzales の solo pianoが好きな人なら絶対好きなはず。
