How much Western-style classical music composed in the East ever makes it to the West? Not much, unfortunately. Happily, some record companies dare to venture where concert programmers won’t.

This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” we’ll hear selections from Naxos’ “Japanese Classics Series,” including Kiyoshige Koyama’s variations on a woodcutter’s song, “Kobiki-Uta” (1957), Qunihico Hashimoto’s symphonic suite “Heavenly Maiden and Fisherman” (1933), and Komei Abe’s neoclassical Symphony No. 1 (1957).

Armchair travelers, your passage is paid! Music brings us all closer. Expand your horizons, with “Nippon Notes from Naxos,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network.
