The famous flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and Lily Liskine (harp) play traditional japanese melodies. One of the famoust flutists of the world perform Japanese melodies together with Lily Liskine. The musicpieces was written for the traditional japanese instruments shakuhachi and koto. Shakuhachi is a bambooflute and the koto is an instrument between harp, guitar and zither.


“This collection is a must, even if you previously thought you had no particular taste for traditional Japanese music. The melodies are placid and contemplative. Ideal for reflective moments, or to relax. I'm motivated to try more of Rampal's Japanese recordings.
While Rampal gets top billing, Laskine on the harp is just as prominent, and as excellent, in performing these works. The playing time of the CD (sadly, only a modest 44 minutes) is about equal measures solo flute, solo harp and harp/flute duet.” (amazon)
