[DasGoeck]

and even today in our society there are people saying that aisan music is not comparable to european music because they have a horrible taste.Just because the italian inventors of classic music thought they are alone who gives the others the right to speak this insulting ?I can agree that there is no comparasion-in a positive way.Both kinds are amazing - no doubt about it . Joe Hisaishi is just one proof but nearly the greatest in my opinion .. and dont thumb me down cause you cant stand it

[pGFTuv]

what a surprise, i just heard such thing...

for me, an asian who studies in europe, the discrimination between asian and european music never even once occur to me or to my friends...

between musicians there are no insult. instead, they play together happily...

i don't think we can limit music with geographical boundaries... it's way beyond that...

and that's why you and i are listening to this music and share the same adoration... ^^

joe hisaishi is, as you have said, nearly the greatest... ^^

[DasGoeck]

Adoration was a brilliant word to add-- ;)

Like I just said.. it is horribly that those "haters"

those.. incompetent non-knowing dum..

well .. lets say those haters :D

that they cant make up their minds about how great music is ! It took years to collect some facts about asian musicians for me .. why cant it all be linked together.. treated as one part ?

[zeldanz200]

@pGFTuv who is the greatest?

[basspig]

Japan is regarded as "the most musical country in the world". Mr. Hisaishi's work also serves to prove that statement to be absolutely accurate.

[PattehPatrick]

I don't see how music alone can be set only to one type of people.

There's the classical-classical music, which I do adore from the Europeans, and there's contemporary-classical, which I tend to like more with the Asians.

I'm not sure why, but they seem to have a sense of feeling in there - not they I don't get it from European contemporary stuff... I just seem to get the whole "pride & flaunting" thing from them...

[basspig]

Music is a a product of culture. It is the fifth face of philosophy--it is what results from how people develop in the other four faces of philosophy.

A definition correction: Classical music is that music written during the period between Beethoven and Mozart. What Mr. Hisaishi is writing is generally classified as 'concert music'. It would be Classical if written in the early 1800s. ;-)

[PattehPatrick]

Makes sense.

@basspig

I know its true, but

SINCE WHEN DO PEOPLE SAY THAT?!

[TYK1994]

I thumb you up instead because I'm Joe Hisaishi-sama fans !!

[Orlymusicboy]

@DasGoeck I do love traditional Japanese and Chinese music, and believe me, I've done my research, but this piece is hardly free of Western influence... and don't just associate 'classical' music with Italy. The tradition of Western 'classical' music (which can hardly be put under one umbrella term nowadays) has developed and been influenced by all of Europe and a little influence from outside it. But I agree that traditional Asian music is fantastic. :)

[ZaBuZaMoMoChi86]

@DasGoeck i'm italian...and i must agree with you...i admire far more asia than europe...speaking of music...joe's pieces are just brilliant...art brought to our ears.

[ikra]

this is absolutely funky! Mr Hisaishi can really compose like no other

[blackjap3506]

I like this...it's kinda different from what I'm used to hearing from Hisaishi

[YIYUNSHE]

WOW

[AnishProductions]

absolutley moving, Joe Hisaishi, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th and 21st centuries :)

Always inspires me in all his works!
