"This is perhaps the most famous of Japanese songs, composed in 1906 by Taki Rentaro (1879-1903), who died at the tragically young age of twenty-four. Modern Japanese music is thought to have begun wit the work of this composer, who went to study n Leipzig, but fell ill and died soon after his return to Japan."
上面一段是从家里的一张老CD上摘抄来的: Japanese Melodies, For Flute and Harp. Jean-Pierre Rampal(Flute), Lily Laskine(Harp), Arrangements (Akio Yashiro)。1969年由法国长笛演奏家朗帕尔(Jean-Pierre Rampal)和法国竖琴 "第一夫人"Lily Laskine 演奏的《荒城之月》(Kojo no Tsuki),1982年出版。
另一位法国竖琴 "第一夫人" Lily Laskine (1893-1988):"She was one of the most prominent harpists of the twentieth century. She was a frequent performing partner of several distinguished French flautists, including Marcel Moyse and Jean-Pierre Rampal. Laskine also served as professor of harp at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1948 to 1958. She was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1958."
