Review by Peter Hales

Japanese Chamber Music of Edo period 1603-1868 is a beautifully crafted album that showcases the musical talents of Suyama Chigyô, Genzan Miyoshi, Michiko Tsuda, and Nakajima Keiko. The album features a collection of traditional Japanese chamber music pieces that date back to the Edo period, a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Japan.

The musicians on this album expertly perform each piece with precision and grace, capturing the essence of the music and transporting listeners to a different time and place. The haunting melodies of the shakuhachi, the delicate sounds of the koto, and the rhythmic beats of the shamisen all come together in perfect harmony to create a truly mesmerizing listening experience.

One standout track on the album is "Sakura, Sakura," a traditional Japanese folk song that has become a symbol of springtime in Japan. The delicate plucking of the koto and the gentle tones of the shakuhachi perfectly capture the beauty and fragility of the sakura blossoms.
