  Metamorphosis CD review

  ニューヨーク在住の箏演奏家、作曲の黒澤有美による4枚目のC D。打楽器、ヴァイオリン、箏のトリオを基本とした編成に、サックスやラテン系打楽器を加えて多様な音楽ジャンルをミックスした、自由な創作が展開される。収録された作品は、実感に満ちた自然な魅力がある。三木稔や吉松隆の系譜に連なる表現も中にはあり、アジア、ユーラシアを源流とした旋法的なものを、流れよく構成している。二十絃箏の音の美しさを引き出す優れた演奏力も特筆されよう。（西耕一/音楽評論家）

  This is the fourth CD by Yumi Kurosawa, a koto player currently living in New York City. The composition is based on a trio of percussion, violin and koto with saxophone, Latin percussion, and other instruments added to create a free-flowing mix of diverse musical genres. These recorded works have a realistic and natural appeal. Some of these expressions are in the lineage of Minoru Miki and Takashi Yoshimatsu, and the compositions flow well with melodic material originating from Asia and Eurasia. It is also worthy mentioning that her excellent performance skills bring out the beauty of the sound of the 20-string koto.
