Nakajima Katsusuke Sosaku Sho Dai 9 kai "Ouka 3 Sho Kotobuki Neko"

[Machine Translation] This CD contains excellent works by Yuko Nomura (koto player), a talented Nagoya-based koto player who is expanding her activities worldwide, and the young Shinnai Iemoto, Tagayu Shinnai, who is also a popular composer in theatrical productions such as the new Kabuki play "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind"! The Katsusuke Nakajima Creation Award commemorates the achievements of the late Katsusuke Tone Nakajima, a nagauta shamisen player and composer who composed numerous dance pieces and contributed greatly to the development of creative Japanese music in Japan. Two works were selected for the 9th award for their freshness and originality based on the style of traditional Japanese music. One is "Sakurabana Sansho," which draws out the charm of koto music and is full of poetic sentiment, and the other is "Kotobuki Neko," which is rhythmical and filled with silliness. Two other works by Katsusuke Nakajima are also included in the collection.
