Information on this Modern/romantic japanese composer?

Question:


I'm currently working on the Otaka flute concerto, and i'd like to know something about the composer. I cant seem to find anything on him. I love his concerto, and spend hours finding it. now that i have it, i need something to help base my interpretation on other than the jean-pierre rampal recording. Thanks.

Answer:


His full name is "尾高尚忠 Hisatada Otaka"

If you are looking for other Modern composers in Japan, the following composers are quite famous:
(sorry if you already know): Toshiro Mayuzumi(黛 敏郎)、Toru Takemitsu (武満 徹)
Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本龍一), Joe Hisaishi (久石譲)are well-known (usually) for film composers.
