5.0 out of 5 stars Of cherry blossoms and temple bells..., July 14, 2000
This review is from: The Japanese Album (Audio CD)
The Japanese Album was my first foray into the realm of traditional Japanese music, and after eleven years this disc is still my favourite. The music is delicate, refined, and mysterious. It is a blend of both East and West, featuring the harpsichord, flute, violin and cello along with the traditional sounds of the koto, shakuhachi, and Japanese percussion. Excellent performances by Jean-Pierre Rampal, Isaac Stern, and Yo-Yo Ma, and a rather unexpected forward and recipes from Martha Stewart make this an unforgettable disc for dining, studying, or simply relaxing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly enjoyable, May 30, 2002
This review is from: The Japanese Album (Audio CD)
Even if you don't know much about Japanese music it is very easy to enjoy this disc.Traditional instrumental tunes are mixed in with contemporary compositions,played on a diverse collection of instruments including the koto.With Isaac Stern on violin, Yo Yo Ma on cello and Jean-Pierre Rampal on flute the performances are top notch.All in all a delightful album for relaxing,reading,dinner, or a long,hot bath.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Relaxing!, July 28, 2005
This review is from: The Japanese Album (Audio CD)
A gentle sample of fine, traditional Japanese music at its best. Highly recommended for the novice - "1st timer" - as well as those of more cultured taste. Hauntingly beautiful.
