Some years ago I have found the website of the Japanese mandolin player Atsushi Fukuya<\/a> and wrote about it in my blog. Yesterday again I landed on the website of Atsushi Fukuya and I have listened again to some of his recordings. On this occasion I searched for more information and I have found several videos with Atsushi Fukuya and the Quartetto Cantarella.<\/p>\n

On the website you find the link Listen!<\/strong><\/a> which leads you to the recordings, including mandolin solos, mandolin and guitar and also recordings with a plucked strings quartet – the Quartetto Cantarella<\/strong>. The list includes well known works like the Csardasz<\/strong> by V. Monti<\/strong>, the Capriccio Spagnuolo<\/strong> by Carlo Munier<\/strong>, the Marche des Mandolinistes<\/strong> by Edouardo Mezzacapo<\/strong>, two mandolin solos by Giuseppe Pettine<\/strong> and a piece by Sivio Ranieri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since my last visit of the website new recordings have been added. Now you can find works by Claude Debussy<\/strong> and Reinhold Gliere<\/strong> and recordings with the Quartetto Cantarella<\/strong>. Those are very interesting recordings and I can recomment to download them.<\/p>\n

On youtube several videos of the\u00a0 Quartetto Cantarella<\/strong> can be found.<\/p>\n

Quartetto Cantarella<\/h4>\n

The quartet is composed of 1st mandolin, 2nd mandolin,\u00a0 mandola tenore\u00a0 and mandocello, which produces a very interesting sound. The mandocello has a full, sonorous sound which is very different to the sound of the guitar that is typically used in European mandolin quartets.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Fukuya Atsushi – 1st mandolin<\/li>\n
  • Gotoh Yuta – 2nd mandolin<\/li>\n
  • Mine Kazuaki – mandola tenore<\/li>\n
  • Shikada Kei – mandocello<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The quartet plays arrangements of compositions by Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy and modern compositions of Japanese composers.<\/p>\n

    This is the Petite Suite<\/strong> by Claude Debussy arranged for mandolin quartet by Atsushi Fukukya:<\/p>\n
