Teruhisa Fukuda
Teruhisa Fukuda is a highly acclaimed, though youthful,
master of the Japanese bamboo flute. Here he offers three of the most beloved
of all traditional
shakuhachi works:
Shika-No-Tohne, Kumoi-Jishi
and
Sokaku-Reibo, plus three engaging contemporary pieces,
Ascent into Bliss by Takayoshi Yanagida,
Fish from Heaven
by Atsuki Sumi and
Etude for the Rainy Season by
Jack Gabel.
"The subtlety and expansiveness he is able to achieve are truly remarkable."
--
Monty H. Levenson (Tai Hei Shakuhachi)
"Teruhisa Fuduka demonstrated conclusively that the shakuhachi and the enlightened
Zen tradition associated with it can be compellingly expressive and satisfying to a
Western audience."
--
Ronald Brown (Washington Post)
"...extraordinary technique...inspired, thoughtful and highly skilled..."
