Description:

“Zao,” a mixed-voice choral suite representative of Makoto Sato’s early work, was composed in 1961 while he was a student at the Tokyo University of the Arts and garnered attention for its high musical quality. Here, listeners can enjoy this work performed by two professional choirs in a stellar collaboration conducted by Iwaki and Fukunaga. (From the CD Journal Database)
