村岡実 - 日本の心尺八のしらべ

Review by Matthew Hoffman

The album 日本の心尺八のしらべ by 村岡実 is a beautiful collection of traditional Japanese music played on the shakuhachi flute. The album features ten tracks that showcase the versatility and expressiveness of the shakuhachi, with each piece conveying a different emotion and mood.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Haru no Umi," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The following tracks range from serene and contemplative to lively and upbeat, with each piece showcasing the shakuhachi's unique sound and timbre.

村岡実's performance on the shakuhachi is exceptional, with each note and phrase played with precision and sensitivity. The album is expertly produced, with the shakuhachi's natural sound blending seamlessly with the accompanying instruments.
