The poet among contemporary composers. Magical arrangements of the world successes of Verdi, saties and children's songs from the Mother Goose collection. Fumio Yasuda describes his music succinctly with the attempt to invent something new. He names the late romantic compositions of Franz Schmidt as decisive influences, but also John Cage's transgressions of boundaries. Nobuyoshi Araki brought Yasuda together with Stefan Winter 20 years ago. Over ten albums were created. For the anniversary of Winter & Winter, Yasuda meets his selection: "My Choice". The FAZ writes: "If you get involved in your music - which is not a question of free will: once ... put it on, you will want to hear it again and again."
