Katsuya Yokoyama - Zen (Katsuya Yokoyama Plays Classical Shakuhachi Masterworks) album flac

This double album by the great Japanese shakuhachi master Katsuya Yokoyama was originally recorded in 1976 by RCA Records Japan, to be re-released in 1982 and again in 1998 by the German Wergo label. This is surely one of the most - if not the most - significant and impressive records by Yokoyama that has been distributed in the West. It is a collection of great masterworks for solo shakuhachi, except for the first piece on the first CD, "Shika No Tône," which is played in a duet with Katsuya's father (also a shakuhachi master and his first teacher) Ranpo Yokoyama

THE WORLD OF KATSUYA YOKOYAMA – By Tomiko KOJIMA, 1980. About four years ago, I suddenly came to a new realization when listening to a recording of Katsuya Yokoyama's performance of "Tsukikusa no Yume ('Dreams of Moonflowers'), a Collection of the Works of Rando FUKUDA. The realization was that of the sweetness of Yokoyama's shakuhachi playing. The three-record set, Sangai Rinten, certainly commemorates the fruition of Katsuya Yokoyama's music at this point in time. The first two records in particular give a very refreshing look into Katsuya Yokoyama the composer. To be honest, having heard a recording of "Onku" several years ago, I felt that Yokoyama the performer was rather different from Yokoyama the composer.
