Moon on ruined castles Oki no kamome (?????) Fisherman's song Yoshie Fujiwara (vocalist : tenor vocal) LeRoy Shield (instrumentalist : piano) 10/26/1925 New York, New York original issue Victor Scroll 10 " 78 rpm record Condition: EXCELLENT close to pristine, faint scuffs, plays very quiet lightest hissA SUPERB COPY Yoshie Fujiwara February 5th, 1898 - March 22nd, 1976 Yoshie Fujiwara was the founder of Fujiwara Opera Society ("Fujiwara kageki-dan" in Japanese). He was born in Shimono-seki, on the Western side of the main island of Japan, as a son of a Japanese mother and a British officer (?). Getting the inheritance from his father, he began to learn singing in either Italy or the UK, not in Japan for sure. At first, he was active as a concert singer in London. He recorded some arias (mainly Italian repertory), Japanese art songs, including some war songs. It is reasonable to believe that for him, as a 'half-blood', it was quite tough to gather the necessary funds for opera performances while coping with some discrimination against him; he had to behave much "more Japanese" than others, singing songs praising the Japanese army, Japanese imperialism etc etc...His voice was a lirico-spinto or tenore lirico with an additional power. The voice itself is somewhat inside rather than forward. His best can be heard in the records made in US in the 1920s. To Mr. Tanaka's knowledge, he made no acoustic records. In Mr. Tanaka's opinion, among his best records are: 'Ko-jo no tsuki (The moon above an old castle)' composed by Rentaro Taki (the pioneer of the so-called modern Japanese art song at the turn of the century), some Shimpei Nakayama's art songs, 'Nambu ushi-oi uta' (a folk song from South Japan) and 'Carmela' (G. de Curtis). Yoshie Fujiwara (???? Fujiwara Yoshie?, December 5, 1898 in Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan – March 22, 1976) was a Japanese tenor singer. He took part in the fifth and sixth Kohaku Uta Gassen.Biography He was born in Osaka.[1] His mother Kinu Sakata was a geisha, who worked in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture. His father, Neil B. Reid, (November 30, 1870 – January 19, 1920) was Scottish, however, he was not raised by his father. Tokuzaburo Fujiwara adopted him, from whom he received the family name "Fujiwara". Even so, his true father met him later in his life and put Yoshie into school. Yoshie's mother died in his youth, and Reid remained a bachelor all his life. There is Reid's grave in Shimonoseki and Reid's boarding house later became the "Fujiwara Yoshie Memorial Museum".[2] In 1934, he established the Fujiwara Opera and became a notable figure of Japanese opera history.

Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
