Sakamoto describes his current creative efforts-a melange of Japanese pop, American rock, jazz, contemporary classical music, R&B and various world-music sounds-as “Neo Geo.” Monday’s program suggested that he’s managed to get most of the musical elements in place.

He said that he named his new album Neo Geo because he liked the sound of the name, not because of any. Sakamoto’s eight-piece ensemble devoted most of the program to a reading of the music from his new album “Beauty.” But the energy, subtlety and feeling of the record virtually disappeared in the cavernous, reverberating sound of the Palace.

When composer/actor/pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto was writing portions of the score of “The Last Emperor,” director Bernardo Bertolucci kept telling him to give it “more feeling.”īertolucci should have been around for Sakamoto’s performance at the Palace on Monday to offer similar advice.
