Description
[Machine Translation] Commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth, the great legacy of master Takeyama Takahashi! This album commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Takeyama Takahashi, a leading figure who popularized the Tsugaru shamisen throughout Japan and introduced it to the world as a music that transcended regional folk songs and became the pride of Japan. Takeyama established his own unique music by playing the shamisen alone, which was originally an accompaniment instrument for minyo songs. This time, with the cooperation of Takeyama's friends and acquaintances, the album is a complete set of two discs, including rare sound recordings: one is a live recording of Takeyama Takahashi's 50th anniversary performance at Aomori Civic Hall on September 10, 1974, focusing on his solo playing; the other is a recording of his original performance as a song accompanist, including Narita Unchiku, Takeyama's teacher, as well as a recording of Tsugaru shamisen practice pieces. The other disc contains valuable performances by Takeyama's master Narita Unchiku and others as accompanists to his original songs and Tsugaru shamisen practice pieces.
