Description
Immerse yourself in the legendary artistry of Ryuichi Sakamoto with ‘Opus’, a definitive 2-CD collection curated by the composer himself. Spanning decades of groundbreaking work, this anthology brings together iconic film scores, Yellow Magic Orchestra classics, and deeply personal compositions that reflect Sakamoto’s singular musical voice. Featured tracks include ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’, ‘Andata’, and ‘Aqua’, alongside never-before-released pieces including ‘for Jóhann’ (a tribute to Jóhann Jóhannsson), ‘BB’ (dedicated to Bernardo Bertolucci), and ‘20180219’ (featuring prepared piano). Presented in a deluxe six-panel digipak constructed from premium black stock with black foil stamping and silver text, the CD edition is wrapped in a custom eight-panel sleeve showcasing evocative black-and-white imagery of Sakamoto during the performance of ‘Opus’. A collector’s booklet offers liner notes and credits, providing deeper insight into the music and the artist’s final reflections. ‘Opus’ is more than a retrospective; it’s a lasting tribute to one of the most influential composers of our time.
