I recall some assorted threads that mentioned scores and/or music by Kitaro -- but I could not find anything of a recent vintage. I used to have a volume of "Silk Road" on CD -- but it appears to have been lost in the miasma of my shelving systems. I really liked "Silk Road" -- some of the contours of the music reminded me of the route that Mark Knopfler took with "Local Hero" and "Cal".
What are some CDs that others would recommend? Thanks!.
My two favorites have always been Heaven & Earth and The Soong Sisters. Both are more orchestral than his Silk Road scores, possibly thanks to the fact that Randy Miller collaborated on both scores.
I also like Ancient, which is the soundtrack to another of his NHK documentary scores like the Silk Road was. It's available to stream on Amazon Prime if you're a member, as are a few other Kitaro albums.
