Hi all,
To my great enjoyment and happiness, the concert of Ishigure sensei & Marco
was a success although the bad rain was very uncooperative. I believe some
of the shakuhachi mailing list were there also.
In addition to Ishigure sensei & Marco san, Yoshikami sensei who lectures on
Japanese Performing arts for the Honors program at UMD played koto and sang
Yugao. That was also a treat for us koto lovers. She is an exceptional
classical koto singer and she specializes in the classical repertory (
kokyoku kotouta ).
The program was :
1) Yugao ( Shamisen, Koto, Shakuhachi)
2) Sanan (Shakuhachi)
3) Haruno Umi(koto Shakuhachi)
4) Tori no Yoni( Koto)
5) Jyogen no Tuski(Koto and Shakuhachi)
6) Aika( 17 gen & shakuhachi)
Sound of shakuhachi was so beautiful - we cried. Marco used a very long
shakuhachi for Sanan. It looked almost 80 cm long or longer.
Sanan melody was apparently originated from Niigata area . It is believed
that "Sanan" is Master Jimbo Masanosuke's version of "Sanya" which is
sometimes called "Jimbo Sanya" or "O-syu-saji". Anyway it was an
extraordinary piece. We were speechless when he finished.
At any rate, I was supposed to be in charge of selling their CDs last night,
however, trying to do so many things, I forgot about it. Now I have bunch of
CDs that I should distribute to the local record shops. I wonder if any of
you be interested in some of those CDs of Marco Lienhard or Ishigure
sensei's. If you do, write to me at aikop@erols.com
I hope I am not doing illegal thing here! If I am, please forgive and
disregard.
