Lullaby For The Moon : Japanese Music For Koto And Shakuhachi

Eerily strange, but somehow inspiring and disturbing all at the same time. It is a good representation and offers various performances that seem to go together to create one unified CD. Often the individual compilations do not flow well, but this one works. I would recommend it.

A good introduction to lovely Japanese melodies. This is a romantic CD, and it you like Japanese music, particularly the stringed koto and the Japanese flute, this album will not disappoint.

This is some really good stuff, if you like japanese music, it is very relaxing and pleasurable to listen to,and for background music for reading or other things

This is one of two favorite koto albums in my collection.

I found the music to be what I was looking for.

Very restful recording of Japanese music.An excellent cross section of pieces..Enjoying it very much. Well packaged & received promptly.Thanks very much.

great cd!! Sooo relaxing after a stressful day, or even for meditating purpose. Thank you

Good music, but not the best choice for me to share with my traveling partners. Need to do more research.

Unusual soothing instrumental using traditional Japanese instruments

I purchased "Lullaby For The Moon" hoping I would hear a good CD. rendition of Japanese clasical standards.I already have these tracks on vinyl where they are played superbly,, but on this CD. there is a noticable amateurish interpretation which misses the spaceous quality of the original;This is most obvious with the Shakuhachi playing.If you have not heard Japanese music before you may however be quite pleased.I however, am not.

The music on this CD is played on the Koto and Shakuhachi is beautiful as it is distinctive. The eight pieces are all brilliantly played and greatly atmospheric and it is difficult for me to choose a favourite as they are all great. This music gives a brilliant introduction to Japanese music and this CD would be a great addition to the collection of anyone interested in the music of Japan.

I have to say straight off, I know nothing about Japanese music! From eating in Japanese restaurants and some film background music, I had expected something a bit more haunting, I suppose. This doesn't do it for me, but again, I'm certainly no expert. Will try something else rather than give up though.

Excellent selection. Very relaxing. Ideal for meditation. Recommended. DG
