The album 大正琴のしらべ 第2集 Taishōkoto No Shirabe by 古賀政男, 佐藤裕, コロムビアアンサンブル is a beautiful collection of traditional Japanese music played on the taishōkoto, a stringed instrument similar to the zither. The album features a variety of pieces, from gentle ballads to lively dance tunes, all played with precision and skill by the musicians.
One standout track is "Sakura Sakura," a classic Japanese folk song that is given a lovely rendition on the taishōkoto. The delicate plucking of the strings creates a peaceful and calming atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation or meditation.
Another highlight is "Kojo no Tsuki," a hauntingly beautiful piece that is played with a sense of melancholy and longing. The interplay between the different instruments is masterful, creating a rich and layered sound that is sure to captivate listeners.
