30 years after his last visit to Japan, John Williams returned to Tokyo for a special concert, making his debut with the world-famous Saito Kinen Orchestra in renditions of his own music and reuniting with his longtime friend, Seiji Ozawa (1935–2024). Captured live on record at Suntory Hall last year, John Williams In Tokyo is set to be released on 3 May and follows his acclaimed concert albums, The Berlin Concert and John Williams in Vienna. The album includes 11 pieces conducted by John Williams and a bonus track, ‘Tributes! (for Seiji)’ composed by John Williams for Seiji Ozawa, conducted by Stéphane Denève.
