Marcello Shakuhachi Concerto in D minor






マルチェルロ 尺八によるオーボエ協奏曲二短調            尺八 ヰヴ呂山


The Marcello Oboe Concerto was composed sometime in the Baroque era. However at that time the shakuhachi was unknown in Europe so Marcello had to make do with an oboe. So here, at last, is the masterpiece restored to its intended glory.


The performance was  on Saturday 9th. October, at Mikiyama Koen Hall, with the Miki Chamber Orchestra conducted by Toshi Iwata. It all went very well, and was an enjoyable concert.



Here is a recording done professionally.


Here is a  video  shot from the back of the hall. Looks pretty but the sound is not so good.

  1. Hello Mr. Eve!
    In 2006 you were kind enough to invite me to join in with the shakuhachi group, and you treated me to udon and sake. I just wanted to wish you well and send my thanks.
