Japanese Love Songs / Kobayashi, Delangle, Geoffroy

Notes & Reviews:

To quote the liner notes, this unusual disc is a kind of love song "from and for Japan, the eternal, and eternally fascinating - a country that reconciles every opposite in arts which stretch across millennia, a volcanic comma placed as a breathing space before the Pacific..." The acclaimed saxophone player Claude Delangle has long been intrigued by Japan, but unlike his previous, all-Japanese disc, this program includes works by two French composers, Bertrand Dubedout and Hacene Larbi, who have also become fascinated by the enigma of Japan.

The acclaimed saxophone player Claude Delangle has long been intrigued by Japan as demonstrated already ten years ago with the disc 'The Japanese Saxophone' (BISCD890). Unlike the previous, all-Japanese disc, the present programme includes works by two French composers, Bertrand Dubedout and Hacène Larbi, who have also become fascinated by the enigma of Japan. Apart from Ryo Noda's Improvisation I for solo saxophone, the programme consists of various combinations of voice, saxophone and percussion.
