This month, Nagano is in Tokyo for a series of concerts, displaying his usual flair for intriguing programming with works by Mendelssohn, Bruckner and the late Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996), with whom he had a great musical relationship.
Nagano chose to perform five works by Takemitsu while in Tokyo, including "November Steps," "Requiem," "Family Tree," "Stanza 1" and "My Way of Life," "because I knew from our conversations together that these works were somehow special to him," he said in a recent interview with The Japan Times.
Nagano had commissioned an opera by him, and a year before his death, Takemitsu called him to say it was finished.
