The combination of electronic organ and shakuhachi may seem strange but if we recall that the ancestor of the electronic organ, i.e. pipe organ was an instrument in which air in a pipes is set in vibration, the combination, is not so strange.

Shakuhachi

Head of the Hozan-kai Shakuhachi Guild, performer, teacher, composer and pioneer in expanding the possibilities of the shakuhachi, Hozan Yamamoto attended the Seiha Music College graduating in 1962. After formation with Reibo Aoki and Katsuya Yokoyama of the widely acclaimed "Shakuhachi Sanbon Kai" trio in 1966, he electrified the conservative traditional scene by applying his talents to a variety of crossover collaborations beginning with the jazz idiom in 1967. These have led him to work with such world renowned musicians as Ravi Shankar, Jean Pierre Rampal, Tony Scott and Gary Peacock. Through the seventies and eighties to the present he has led the shakuhachi world receiving innumerable honors, including Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Education Ministerial awards for his performances, recordings (numbering in the hundreds) and compositions. He currently serves as lecturer at The Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music.

Designated Living National Treasure in 2002.

Don't trust the cover. Don't trust the title. This is not Gheorghe Zamfir & Marcel Cellier- Panflute & Organ (nothing wrong with that) and it is not Jean-Claude Jégat & Louis Yhuel - Bombarde Et Orgue (we are not in Brittany). These are not two Zen Masters... It is electronic organ and shakuhachi plus drum and bass, no not what you think... I guess you have to listen for your good self... : )

BOMBARDE & ORGAN

The pairing of the bombarde with big church organs dates back only to the 1970s but has become a tradition of its own. Often the repertoire includes a number of Breton cantiques or hymns, but this pairing is also used for dances and new compositions, and more recently the biniou has been added to make a trio, and you also find bombarde paired with piano.

Jean-Claude Jégat & Louis Yhuel.
Bombarde et orgue
Pioneers in this genre with many recordings in the 1970s and early 1980s on lp.

On reconnait ici une référence tant au niveau des artistes, (Jean-Claude Jégat et Louis Yhuel), que de leur virtuosité.
A sa sortie, ce coup d'essai fut un coup de maître, et l'association des deux instruments, l'un sacré, l'autre profane, est une réussite.
Cantiques bretons et gavottes se succèdent et s'harmonisent simplement, naturellement.

Un Véritable Chef d'Oeuvre !
Par Terrien

Ce CD est un véritable bijou de ce que peut représenter l'Art de la musique à l'état pur.
Lorsque j'ai écouté cette musique,j'ai retrouvé cette délicieuse sensation lorsque j'écoutais des heures durant
Monsieur Yhuel Organiste Titulaire des Orgues de la Collégiale de Guérande,jouer avec brio tant la musique bretonne que les grandes musique classiques...l'Alchimie avec Monsieur Jégat est une pure merveille!
J'ai souvent pensé que si la vie avait privé Monsieur Yhuel de la vue ,elle lui avait donné en contre partie ce Don unique de jouer de façon aussi parfaite toutes les gammes possibles de la Musique!avec cette modestie et cette gentillesse qui lui ressemblaient tant...
Il y a des Personnes dont on se souvient toujours car lorsqu'elles partent,elles vous laissent cette impression de vide douloureux mais Monsieur Hhuel,grâce à la Musique qu'il nous laisse,appartient au Royaume des Immortels...
