noreply@blogger.com (SEEKAN) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:57:00 +0000

The King Record Co. team spent a few days in Hanoi in March 1991, and produced four albums, two traditional and two of musicians trained at the Hanoi Conservatory playing modernized traditional music and new "ethnic" compositions inspired by Socialist arts policies in eastern Europe and China. Both this album and String Instruments of Vietnam (KICC 5121) consist of this sort of music. While some new compositions are interesting, the performances of "traditional" music lack the spices (nuances) that give Vietnamese music its individuality. Related to this, and including many of the same pieces played by the same musicians, are The Music of Vietnam, Volume 1.1 and 1.2 (Celestial Harmonies 13082-2 and 13083-2), as well as Vietnam: Reviving a Tradition (Playa Sound PS 65116). None of these albums has expert annotations either. ~ Terry Miller, All Music Guide

[30]. World Music Library, KICC 5123 - Thailand - Mo Lam Singing of Northeast Thailand

noreply@blogger.com (SEEKAN) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:50:00 +0000

Mo lam is a folk-song style from Isan province in northeast Thailand, although in the 1980s it enjoyed wide popularity in Bangkok and a few of the musicians actually made European and American tours. It is a form that has both structured and improvised parts, usually in the same song, and is best known for its sad and plaintive sound, although there are some uptempo modes that are quite lively. Chawiwan Damnoen is considered one of the best of the female mo lam singers, with a precise yet spirited delivery and a great skill at the improvised parts. She is accompanied by Thongkham Thaikla on the khaen, a wind instrument made of a bundle of bamboo tubes fitted with free reeds that is played by blowing into a central chamber and creating notes by opening and closing a hole on each tuned tube. They instrument necessitates a rhythmic playing style that is often at odds with the slow and ornamented vocals it accompanies. --Louis Gibson

[25]. World Music Library, KICC 5186 - Japan - Biwa, The World of Tsuruta Kinshi

noreply@blogger.com (SEEKAN) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:58:00 +0000

The disc is the last recording made by Tsuruta Kinshi, 18 October 1993. Ottantaduenne now, the great interpreter of satsumas biwa could no longer play his instrument because of rheumatic pain in the hands and then in the songs collected here is running only the voice, the biwa accompanied by three of his students. Only a week after registration, Tsuruta Kinshi was struck by a cerebral infarction, died April 4, 1995. It is therefore natural that the booklet that came with your CD (in Japanese and English) devotes space off the commemoration of the great musician. Narabe Kazumi briefly recounts the long and troubled career Tsuruta Kinshi: its rapid assertion in his youth as a great virtuous of biwa, his sharp retreat from music scene when he was just 25 years old (seems to understand because of friction with the environments traditional music) to manage a club nigth in downtown Tôkyô, his meeting with Takemitsu Tôru and its decision to resume the concert (at the age of 53 years); recalls its character and decided his great energy as interpreter and teacher; especially remembers her very personal style and the many technical innovations made to the executive and the same construction of the instrument, which it used not only in music but also in traditional compositions by contemporary authors. A second article is signed by the same Tôru Takemitsu, which recalls the circumstances of his meeting with Tsuruta Kinshi in 1964, when the composer was looking for a performer biwa for a scene of the film Kaidan, of which he was composing the soundtrack; this meeting was the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between two musicians who exert a profound influence on both of them and produce works that became internationally famous as Eclipse and November Steps.
