This is a live recording album of the concert "An Evening of Japanese Contemporary Music" held in 1984, featuring the works of three Japanese contemporary composers: Ryohei Hirose, Comet Ichiyanagi, and Maki Ishii. Performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra. A1 by Ryohei Hirose is a concerto for shakuhachi and orchestra, one of a series of works composed for performance by shakuhachi player Kuniyama Yamamoto. Like his other works such as "Seasons" and "Oukanraku", it is said to show a series of linked forms of memory and circulation based on landscape scenes. B1 by Maki Ishii is one of a series of "Akebono" works for orchestra, and is an acoustic music using the technique of tone clusters.
