In Conversation: Shakuhachi & Viola - Part1
Anne Frascarelli, violist with the Yonkers Philharmonic sits down with Shakuhachi Grandmaster Daniel Nyohaku Soergel to compare notes. With seemingly nothing in common for these instruments but a low note of C, their eastern and western musical traditions are compared. Both instruments have a unmistakably unique warm tone and blend surprisingly well once the idiosyncrasies of each instrument is understood. Part one of two.
