About this product

This album represents a trove of new and never-before recorded songs from the Kazuno region in northern Japan world premiere recordings. Many of the works by renowned local Kazuno children's song composers were largely unknown with beautiful melodies, even though the Japanese culture reveres children's songs, taught to children and sung often by both children and adults. The scores for these children's songs were not published for commercial sale and were believed to be inaccessible but were lent to soprano Wakako Kawasaki by two individuals residing in Kazuno who possessed complete children's songs collections of composers Jujin Odajima and Takatomo Kurosawa for this recording project, as these works of these great composers from Kazuno were not even being sung in their hometown. These collections were used as the base works for the album in addition to pieces composed by Sapporo composer Kyoichi Enda, inspired by Japanese author Ryusuke Saito's story of the Kazuno floods. The album also includes a revival performance of InchDainosaka,Inch a song associated with the Kemanai Bon Dance not sung since the early Showa period (1926-1989), arranged with piano accompaniment by Dr. Akiko Hosaki. Today InchDainosakaInch is performed only with flute, drum, and dance, but historical records indicate it was accompanied by song as well. InchDojokko Funakko,Inch was discovered on an original song monument at a temple in Kazuno and added to the album. The album is the result of years of research and discussions with Japanese musicologists in order to create a collection which will be historical in the annals of Japanese music Album Tracks 1. Dai-no Saka (Kenmani Bon'-Odori Hozon'-kai version) 2. Dai-no Saka (Nihon' Min'yo Daikan' Tonhoku version) 3. Hamabe-no Uta (Song of the Beach) 4. Komban'-san' (Good Evening) 5. Akibare (Sunny Autumn Day) 6. Akizora-ni Utau (Sin

The orchestral triptych of 'Meditation, Nach dem Sturm' and 'Klage' is award-winning composer Toshio Hosokawa's response to the 2011 Tohuku earthquake and tsunami. Meditation mourns the victims with a quiet song of sorrow, Nach dem Sturm uses shamanic elements to suggest stormy darkness and the hope of light, while the healing Klage seeks to connect our world with the supernatural. 'Autumn Wind' unifies man and nature through the timeless sound of the shakuhachi. The collaboration between Naxos and composer Toshio Hosokawa has been very fruitful in recent years, and this new follows on from two collections of orchestral works conducted by Jun Markl. Volme 1 of these Inchdraws magically delicate colors and rich textural intricacies from what is a profoundly attractive score.Inch (Gramophone on Lotus under the moonlight), and volume 2 Inchreinforce Hosokawa's commitment to poetic representations of human presences in the natural world.Inch (Gramophone). World-class vocal soloists in this recording include Danish soprano Susanne Elmark who has produced an aria recital for Naxos Denmark and mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura whose recordings include Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as part of Christian Thielemenn's Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra recordings on C Major. Tadashi Tajima is one of today's most respected shakuhachi players, having performed around the world. Album Tracks 1. Meditation - Basque National Orchestra 2. Nach Dem Sturm - Susanne Elmark/Ilse Eerens/Basque National Orchestra 3. Klage - Mihoko Fujimura/Basque National Orchestra 4. Autumn Wind - Tadashi Tajima/Basque National Orchestra
