The flourishing culture of the classical guitar in Japan is further revealed in the third volume of this admired series. The expressive nature of music for guitar and for the harmonica often represents the principles of Ma - the idea of space and time. Takemitsu's contemporary arrangements of popular songs, where virtuosity fuses with flexible spirituality, are of extraordinary originality whilst melodic inventiveness is the hallmark of Hikaru Hayashi's varied pieces. There are also examples from film scores and explorations of sound qualities, such as Yoshimatsu's intensely evocative and masterful Forgetful Angel II.
