Japanese Koto Orchestra CD

The Koto ensemble of the Ikuta School features five kotos, hoteki or flute, shamisen, a 3-stringed plucked instrument, and shakuhachi, a large bamboo flute. Some of the pieces recorded, all regarded as outstanding examples of koto music, are rarely played because of the difficulty assembling necessary musical talent. Descriptive notes on traditions and selections. 3 orchestral compositions.
