Furusato: A Japanese Journey 2 is an impressive album that showcases the musical talents of Charlotte De Rothschild and Adrian Farmer. The album features a collection of traditional Japanese songs, which are performed with great skill and sensitivity.
The album begins with the hauntingly beautiful "Sakura," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. De Rothschild's voice is clear and pure, and she brings a sense of authenticity to each of the songs. Farmer's accompaniment on the koto and shakuhachi is equally impressive, and he creates a rich and textured soundscape that perfectly complements De Rothschild's vocals.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Kojo no Tsuki," which is a classic Japanese folk song that has been covered by many artists over the years. De Rothschild and Farmer's version is particularly moving, and they bring a sense of emotion and depth to the song that is truly captivating.
Furusato: A Japanese Journey 2 is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates traditional Japanese music. De Rothschild and Farmer are clearly passionate about this music, and their dedication shines through in every note. Highly recommended.
