I can see what he means when he says this, I have listened to this piece =
at
least hundreds of times, often putting it on at night and putting the CD =
on
repeat...and with various artists... the one I liked best was the one on
Kyoto Spirit by Yoshio Kurahashi, so of course it was that CD that got lo=
st
in the move from California to Arizona ("In attraction, blossoms fall....=
"
fortunately I still have an mp3 of that version... While the notes are qu=
ite
good and "unvarnished", I really appreciate being able to hear the wind i=
n
the bamboo in this master=92s playing, and all the little incidental tril=
ls
and whistles remind me of the crackle in the glaze on a teacup=85
Someone (who shall remain nameless out of respect for privacy) was kind
enough to put together a packet with the notation and a CD with detailed
instructions for Kyorei for me... for an old slow learner like myself it =
is
a lifetime project, but the piece really seems to penetrate to the core...
speaking strictly as a listener, of course... as a player I have hardly
gotten past the first few notes... (Somehow after TSU-RE-RI-I-TSU_MERI-RO=
I
lose it... and just keep playing RO-RO-RO.... ah well, silly old goat...
braying in the wind...)
Does anyone know about Nishimura Koku-sensei and the long shakuhachi he
called kyotaku? I have never heard a recording of his music and wonder ab=
out
him...
