Ryuichi Sakamoto's team shared a final parting gift from the towering musician, who died in March — a playlist he compiled for his funeral. Listen here.
The 33-song set runs for about two-and-a-half hours and primarily features compositions by prominent Western composers like Erik Satie, Bach, Ravel, and Debussy. Additionally, there’s a piece from famed Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu, and the playlist opens with a work from Sakamoto collaborator Alva Noto. Sakamoto also included music by the Bill Evans Trio, Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, David Sylvain, and Laurel Halo.
In announcing the playlist, Sakamoto’s management team wrote, “We would like to share the playlist that Ryuichi had been privately compiling to be played at his own funeral to accompany his passing. He truly was with music until the very end.”We would like to share the playlist that Ryuichi had been privately compiling to be played at his own funeral to accompany his passing.
