Kasane features Kazuhito Yamashita, and Bambini and highlights inspired, memorable studio performances by internationally acclaimed concert guitarist Kazuhito Yamashita and his three prodigy children (Koyumi, Terukaku and Kanahi), as well as provocative, heartwarming songs by Kazuhito’s wife and accomplished composer, Keiko Fujiie. This quartet looks to the risorgimento of a quintessential and older musical tradition. This recalls a bygone era of both Europe and Japan when such music was known and valued. Four guitars, multi-layering with shifting tonal colors, represent the various plucked instruments of old Japan.
THE COMPOSER: Keiko Fujiie, born in 1963 in Kyoto, is the recipient of numerous awards in Japan. She graduated and completed postgraduate studies at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. She won the Otaka Prize in 1995 and again in 2000 for the best symphonic piece of the year (chosen by NHK Symphony Orchestra).
