Details such as pricing are unavailable at this time, but when we're talking about Akira Ifukube, who would dare put a price on his genius?
More information about the release will become available on Maestro Ifukube's official English-language Web site as soon as possible. Fans of Mr. Ifukube, and of classical music in general, will certainly be pleased with the new release!
As a fan of the musical scores of Ifukube I appreciate this update/heads-up post Brett! He is "the" Maestro indeed. Now I know what to ask my wife to get me for Christmas :)
