Well tuned into #radiocapish
Today's listening takes us to medieval Japan, when, from the Tang Dynasty (唐, 618 - 907 AD) in China, not only writing characters but also many customs and practices were imported to the Land of the Rising Sun, along with musical instruments. One of the most notable among them is the five-holed bamboo flute, which will be named Shakuhachi (尺八) and will become, over the centuries, one of the most representative (and well-known) instruments of Japanese music.
Let us then listen to two traditional pieces performed by one of the greatest Shakuhachi players of the last century, Gorō Yamaguchi (山口 五郎, 1933 – 1999), first published in 1969 by the Nonesuch label.
Enjoy the listening.
Koku-Reibo (Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky)
Sokaku-Reibo (Depicting the Cranes in Their Nest)
