Music reviews of Traditional Vocal And Instrumental Music (Japan)
Music Review: Shamisen Memories
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a well put together collection of traditional Japanese music. The ensemble are soloists from Ensmble Nipponia, a well-known and distinguished group of performers and composers from Japan who tour the world. In this recording we have two koto players (a six-foot zither), a shakuhachi (a wooden flute),a shamisen (three string banjo), and a biwa (Japanese lute) played and sung by Ayako Handa. There are 8 compositions totalling 45:14 min. The music is a good cross-section of this type of classical sound, with excellent performances all around. If you have never heard traditional Japanese music before, this is a good place to start. For the most part this music is accessible to Western-trained ears, and sets the mood at an Eastern dinner party. Since I have a dozen cassettes of this style of music, I am only slowly converting to CD the ones that I can. Hope you enjoy the album!
