...more Takahashi
another track from Yuji Takahashi's "Finger Light" (available on the Tzadik label) to satisfy the inquisitive ear. Mimi No Ho is scored for shô (Japanese mouth organ), viola and voice. Enjoy.

Interesting combination! Why the juxtaposition of the Russian language? Is it a poem?
Good question about the Russian - below is the text, and we can all try to figure it out...
My ears extend the sensitive sails,
Widened eyes turn black,
And voyage silently
The voiceless chorus of the midnight birds.
I am poor as Nature
and simple as the sky
and imaginary is my freedom
as the voices of the midnight birds.
I see the dead moon
and the lifeless flaxen sky
Your ailing and strange world
I accept, in emptiness
1910
Osip Mandelstam
