Anne convincingly pairs the world of 20th century French music with contemporary Japanese works. Sonatas by the fathers of French impressionism - Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel - foreshadow Olivier Messiaen's \"Theme et variations\", whose chordal structure is evoked in Toru Takemitsu's \"Distance de Fee\". Anne's close association with Somei Satoh resulted in the world-premiere recording of the Japanese composer's \"Birds in Warped Time II\", a work that made such a strong impression on architect Michael Arad that he incorporated Anne's recording into his winning submission for the design of the World Trade Center Memorial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"1LP Black Vinyl","offer_id":57194760765780,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3860\/0020\/files\/image-2_4246d662-1944-4b9e-aa0f-009c3da97941.jpg?v=1789680655","url":"https:\/\/www.realgrooverecords.co.uk\/products\/anne-akiko-meyers-east-meets-west","provider":"Real Groove Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
