A record of the origins of the Tsugaru shamisen, capturing the northern climate and the resonance of its soul.
This is a masterpiece featuring Takahashi Chikuzan's Tsugaru shamisen performance. Improvisational technique and passion intertwine, creating a performance that transcends the boundaries of folk music and conveys the vitality of the music itself.
You're immediately drawn in from the opening "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi." Each strike of the plectrum brings to life a northern landscape, alternating between tension and release. Takeyama's performance transcends the boundaries of folk music, becoming a pure artistic expression that combines improvisation with constructed beauty. The subtle changes in tone and the breaths in between are superb, and it's as if a story unfolds with each strike of the strings. The recording is clear, and of exceptionally high quality for a folk recording of the time. The sense of presence, even the performer's breathing, is conveyed, embodying the profound depth of the Tsugaru shamisen. This is an important work that perfectly combines tradition and individuality, demonstrating the essence of Takeyama's art.
