Ryuichi Sakamoto - Opus (Vinyl Box Set)

Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Opus serves as a deeply personal reflection from one of the most influential artists in modern classical and film music. Performed with raw emotion and a delicate touch, this album highlights Sakamoto’s expressive piano work as he revisits and reimagines his most cherished compositions.

On Opus, familiar themes such as “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” and “The Last Emperor” are rendered with an elegiac beauty, while new tributes like “BB” and “for Jóhann” pay homage to lost friends and collaborators. Every piece resonates with poignant simplicity, showcasing Sakamoto’s masterful ability to evoke powerful feelings through sparse and thoughtful arrangements.
