Though more widely known for his film music, Akira Ifukube has also composed an impressive body of classical work that has been performed and recorded extensively over the years. Born in Hokkaido in 1914, Ifukube developed a strong interest in music at an early age, and was greatly inspired by the traditional music and culture of the Ainu, the indigenous people of Northern Japan. He was also heavily influenced by the works of European classical composers, particularly Igor Stravinsky and Manuel de Falla, and studied modern Western composition under Russian pianist Alexandre Tcherepnin. Ifukube wrote his first work, Piano Suite (1933), at age 19, more than 14 years before his first film score.
Below is an alphabetical index of Ifukube's classical works. Each title is followed by a list of all known CD appearances of that work, including links to each CD's review page. The listings are presented chronologically by recording date, since many of the CDs feature older recordings that were previously released on vinyl LPs.
(Special thanks to Ed Godziszewski, whose “Classical Works of Akira Ifukube – a Chronological Listing”, from G-Fan #18, 1995, proved to be a valuable source in researching the titles for this index.)
