We are delighted to be able to share about two and a half minutes of Jōruri, an opera by Minoru Miki. Joseph Rescigno conducted the world premiere and Japanese premiere, and the latter was recorded live and released on video cassette and laser disk by Dreamlife Corporation.

This excerpt features Nanae Yoshimura on the koto.
