Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". (Cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" BWV 147: Chorale) Electronic version by Isao Tomita (1932- ) from the album "Bach Fantasy" (1996)
Tomita's performance on this piece is quite similar to the legendary Japanese fireworks. The principal motif is repeatedly developed by variations using a plethora of exquisite voices created by his unique techniques, leading up to the finale by a gigantic and superbly colorful flower in the sky (or space), like the explosion of a three-feet ball, that can be achieved only by the master of all masters.
I agree with what you said. Unfortunately, we live in a limited world. Or a limited country. RCA only released so many albums of Tomita in the U.S. And America is all about pop culture. Even back in the day you were lucky to find Tomita in music stores. Enjoy what you have of his. I would like to hear The School by Tomita, but it was only released in Japan. Be nice to go to Japan and go through their music stores. Anyway, best of luck..
I'd love to hear something that TOMITA could do today... it would be the best music of the modern age, but it seems like the most people like today's crappy music, sadly, for us all...
GRACIAS A CRISTO QUE ME DIO UN PADRE TAN INTELIGENTE PORQUE AQUI EN MÉXICO LA GENTE CORRIA ASUSTADA CUANDO ESCUCHABA SU MUSICA DE ISAO TOMITA ES LO MEJOR PRESUMIR CUANDO TIENES UNA FAMILIA DE NO ESTÚPIDOS ❤
Absolutely gorgeous, we lost a true musician when he left us. I use the Korg Kronos, and I'm in the process of sequencing, similar to Tomita, Bach's compositions, as well as others. The technology is so advanced now, and the sounds on the Kronos are so amazing, it just saddens me to think that Bach was born way too long ago, what he could have done today sitting behind the greatest synthesizer in the world, namely the Korg Kronos. I'm certainly no genius like Bach, but I can take his compositions and seemingly work musical magic with it. Several of his Inventions are remarkable the way they can be interpreted as cartoon like/video games, it would appear as though Bach actually could look into the distant future, see what computers/synthesizers can do, and purposely wrote several of his composition with that in mind. His Invention in C and F major, are perfect for that cartoon like sound, just amazing! Listen to Tomita's interpretation of Mussogsky's Picture at an Exhibition, wow! Amazing!

Jesus bleibet meine Freude J.S. Bach BWV 147-7 J. S. Bach - "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" BWV 147 Jesus bleibet meine Freude, Meines Herzens Trost und Saft, Jesus wehret allem Leide, Er ist meines Lebens Kraft, Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne, Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne; Darum laß ich Jesum nicht, Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht. Jésus demeure ma joie Jésus demeure ma joie, la consolation et le sang de mon cœur; Jésus me préserve de toute souffrance Il est la force de ma vie, le plaisir et le soleil de mes yeux, le trésor et le délice de mon âme. Voilà pourquoi je ne laisse pas Jésus quitter mon cœur ou ma vue Jesus will always be my joy, My heart's comfort and blood, Jesus protects me from all suffering, He is my life's strength, The desire and sunshine of my eyes, My soul's treasure and bliss; Therefore I will never let Jesus go, Neither from my heart nor from my sight. Jesús será siempre mi alegría Jesús será siempre mi alegría, el consuelo y la sangre de mi corazón; Jesús me preserva de todo sufrimiento, Él es la fuerza de mi vida, el placer y el sol para mis ojos, el tesoro y la delicia de mi alma. Es por eso que no dejo a Jesús alejarse de mi corazón ni de mi vista
Since I left the comment, I looked around, on the internet, found a few things, but just a few, sadly... so, yeah, there will be a time, when good music will rule, again...
Tomita meets Bach,a beautiful story,this song lives of its text,the text of this reading Francisco Reyes who here again released him what Bach wrote about Jesus and our saviorTomita trifft auf Bach,eine schöne Geschichte,dieses Lied lebt von seinem Text,lese hierzu den Text von Francisco Reyes der ihn hier nochmal veröffentlicht hat was Bach geschrieben hat über Jesus unseren Heilsbringer
Compared to a lot of Tomita's work, this very restrained and true to the original. On the flip side, it doesn't really gain much by being performed in synthesizer and could pass for an acoustic version if you didn't know. It's certainly not bad, but it's not really that interesting either.
