- Played by Japan philharmonic orchestra conducted by Sachio Fujioka
Written as a Memorandum on flowers, this concerto for piano consists of three movements: Flower, Petals and Bloom, that are, respectively, fast, slow and fast.
The Words Memo Flora were written by the poet Kenji Miyazawa on the cover of a notebook that contained notes for a diagram of the placement of flowers (melody) in a flowerbed (score).
1. Flower - An Allegro in a pseudo-sonata form celebrating flowers blooming quietly in a spring field against a background of shifting colors. As the texture of birds, described by the woodwind draws close by, the piano sweeps through a spring storm and into a blue sky.
2. Petals - A light Andante, like flower petals floating on the water. A faint song on the quietly flowing water appears and disappears like a dream of long ago.
3. Bloom - The finale, in which spring speed away from the spring field, in full bloom. A 4/8 and 5/8 rondo that dashes lightly into the distance.

Well, if the uploader uses Ravel as a profile picture you will only get masterpieces.
Bro sees a flower on the street and just goes home and drops the most beautiful music ever
I can’t believe I’m barely discovering this. This is just beautiful music! Gives the atmosphere of movie scoring music. The textures, colors, timbres, and harmonies are so lush and gorgeous. I am sadly unfamiliar with Japanese composers but you’ve totally opened up a new door for me! The section at S in the first movement is just mesmerizing and puts you in a trance. The string writing is just fantastic and greatly voiced too. So glad I found this!
Prettyyy...
fantastic contemporary classical music!
I am here in a FABULOUS dream , and I don't want to wake up , wish this atmosphere continues . It's just the first time that I listen to this prodigious composer , sure , I'll go to discover more of his work ❤
One of the most beautiful underrated piano concertos, and one of the most fantastic melodies I ever heard
I have never heard of this composer before today and I am 67, inexcusable I know. This was delightful and it will not be the last I will listen to of this fabulous composer. Wonderful chording, and he uses every possible note on the piano from lowest to highest, simply stunning.
This is sublime (:
This reminds me a studio ghibli movie

For no reason in particular CZcams just decided to recommend Takashi Yoshimatsu to me. I almost never listen to classical music, but felt strangely attracted to the video. I clicked it and oh my God. This is some of the most mesmerizing music I have ever heard in my life.
Walked away from my phone with my headphones still on, auto play turned this on. Wow... I'm speechless. The most amazing discovery I've made

That 2nd movement is so delightful my god.
Let's face it, with all the chromaticism and cataclysm of the 20th century, diatonic music survived and continues to delight. This music gave me the impression of a minimalist Ravel having tea in a Japanese garden. What you hear is certainly inventive and user-friendly.
