What
A collection of solo and chamber music works performed by world-renown performers for the shakuhachi, the end-blown Japanese bamboo flute.
What is this evocative instrument? Originally from China, the shakuhachi arrived in Japan almost 1,300 years ago. The musical tradition that flourishes today was developed centuries ago among an elite group of Japanese Buddhist monks, many of them former samurai warriors. They practiced their flutes as meticulously as they practiced their sword technique, hoping to achieve a moment of enlightenment. The confluence of sound and silence, music seemingly abstract yet profoundly moving, the peace and calm of deep breathing… all from a single piece of bamboo.
