Of course, I'm rather new to traditional Japanese music so perhaps my ears are not as discriminating. In any event, the vinyl album from Everest has no hum or background noise and nothing gets in the way of enjoying the ensemble. Just passing this on in case it helps someone. By the way, the liner notes are pretty useless, unless you have no idea what Japanese music is. Like, if you're from another planet, you would be able to gather some sense of what instruments are used and a vague idea of how the music is composed
This CD presents five of the most known pieces of the Japanese koto repertoire. Three of the pieces are performed by a koto duet. The two others are joined either by a shakuhachi and a shamisen ("Rokudan") or a just shakuhachi ("Chidori"). Two of the pieces includes singing. What we hear on this CD are not the original classical versions. They are slightly re-arranged, a re-arrangement which includes doing the koto part with the two in unison, instead of the usual single koto. It is a good CD for those who wants to get a taste of Japanese music.
