MUSIQUES DE L'ASIE TRADITIONNELLE VOL. 20
JAPON/JAPAN
TRADITIONAL ASIAN MUSIC VOL. 20
Playa Sound, 1982, PS 33526
Another LP borrowed a long time ago from my local library. It is in fact an album first issued and recorded by Victor M.I. Japan which was included the same year to this nice series edited by Playa Sound for the French market.
There are five tracks only mixing old and new material for shakuhachi, koto and shamisen (sangen). On the old side shakuhachi master Reibo Aoki plays Shika nô Tone (18th century), Osyusashi (19th century) and Midare (17th century); the modern material is Meykio composed in 1975 and a Duo Concertante for shakuhachi and koto composed in 1969.
Since I copied the English text you can find more information about these pieces as well as a short bio on all the performers.
Master Aoki who plays on all tracks died in 2018; he plays two different types of shakuhachi on this record.
