Traditional Japanese music and contemporary music take Madrid by storm with this concert in which the shakugashi and recorders propose a singular dialogue. Between encounters
and disencounters, the interaction between two of the world’s greatest virtuosos in this type of repertoire not only invites us to reflect on the origin of and connection between the so-called “extended instrumental techniques” of today’s music and Japanese music, but it also leads us to wonder what it is that is really being extended.
