Editorial Reviews

Lullaby for the Moon presents Japanese contemporary works for koto and shakuhachi based on traditional folksongs (1. Komoroiuta, 6. Sakura, and 7. Kojo), as well as some original ones, including a piece for 2 shakuhachis. The CD ends with one of the most known pieces of the Japanese classical repertoire: "Chidori" (known also as "Chidori no Kyoku"), written around 1750. A large group of excellent musicians were selected for this CD, including one of today's most known and best shakuhachi musicians: Hozan Yamamoto. This excellent CD presents a music of high meditative quality. Bruno Deschenes, All Music Guide

May 09, 2003: This music is beautiful and very relaxing. Great for playing at when you can't get to sleep...I listen to it a lot when I go to bed, and I can never stay awake when I have this on! If you're like me, you like to have music playing all the time, even when you're studying or working on something. I like to listen to this while I'm writing; it gives me something to listen to, but it's soft and soothing, and helps me concentrate on my writing and not be too distracted by the music. It's perfect for any time! Buy this today and you won't be disapointed.
