  5. Thank you IB for your help! It seems from my list only "Voices" remains to be posted.

    It's my pleasure, Frédito.

    @ Anonymous - I do not have TAKEHITO HONDA - SALAAM SALAAM - in fact I've never heard about this musician.

  6. To Frédito and everyone who likes the sound of shakuhachi.
    There is a new CD on the label "Another Timbre" with marvelous shakuhachi music.
    The player is Yoshikazu Iwamoto who plays compositions by Frank Denyer (composer extraordinaire).It is available for 11 GBP directly > http://www.anothertimbre.com/denyershakuhachi.html.

    Yoshikazu Iwamoto is also to be heard on a recording with Eddie Prévost and John Tilbury.

  7. Onxidlib, merci for your recommendations. One is ordered and the other is bookmarked.
    I believe that the first shakuhachi record I heard was one of Iwamoto san.
