Kitaro - Daylight Moonlight: Live in Yakushiji (2003) [SACD]

Recorded at Yakushiji temple, Nara, Japan, August 31, 2001. From the opening chant of the Yakushiji monks, it is apparent that this is going to be a special offering from Kitaro. The legendary World Music pioneer’s latest album is a 2-SACD set recorded over 3 evenings in the sacred Yakushiji Temple in the ancient Japanese capital, Nara.
With full instrumentation, Kitaro reprises 9 favorite compositions from earlier albums, plus his Golden Globe Award-Winning theme from the Oliver Stone film “Heaven & Earth” & 2 previously unreleased tracks. This is a tour de force for Kitaro & ensemble. All the drama, grace & humanity of his usual offerings are here with the added immediacy of the live recording & the profound spirit of the Yakushiji monks who appear on the previously unreleased “Wa” in addition to the opening track. Live in Yakushiji is a broad & deep journey, to inner realms as well as exotic earthly destinations. After this journey, you will definitely feel like you’ve gone somewhere!!
