Very late coming to this as I thought he was still alive. I went to his concert at the Royal Festival Hall in 1999 and was so impressed by The Tale of Genji that I wrote and told him he should get it released in the UK I worked for a music company at that time. He sent me a letter and a Mini Disc of 'Tale' which was unfinished at this time and I tried to get it released by our UK Classics department who regretably didn't think iot was commercial enough for the Uk market. That version is slighlty different from the CD release and I still treasure it. Along with Emerson, he really made me appreciate classical music.
