Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort

Profile of Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort
Under the direction of Ms. Yukimi Kambe, the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort (YKVC) was organizedin 1983 in Tokyo. YKVC performs both European Renaissance music and world contemporary music,
actively expressing stylistic diversity.

YKVC features creative programming and performance

grounded in cultural traditions of both East and West. Its activities include concerts, recordings,
broadcasts, educational outreach, “Laboratory” for composers, performances for historical dance andfor competitions. Consort members attend festivals and conclaves. In addition to many Japanese
tours, YKVC have made two European tours and eight in the U.S., the most recent one in 2007 a great
success.
YKVC have performed more than 400 concerts, including programs of a single composer: Jenkins,
Purcell and J.S. Bach. They are equally dedicated to modern composition, performing more than 130
contemporary works since the consort’s inception. About 130 works are new compositions for viols,
written for the ensemble and entrusted to the ensemble for the premieres.

works for viols by Tsutomu Mizuno” (YKVC 0302) which is the first recording ever consisting
entirely of viol works by a single contemporary composer, and the newest CD of an all Bach program“Ja, doch BACH mit Gambenconsort” (YKVC 0503).

They have also performed on other CDrecordings.

Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort Activities
Performance:

The consort has several typical programs. Many of their concerts combine early andcontemporary viol music, mostly repertoire conceived for viols, but also including works in their own
arrangements.

See the Program Suggestions (p.16).

Concerts may consist entirely of earlyrepertoire, sometimes comprising works of a single composer. YKVC also gives entirely contemporary
programs, occasionally devoted to works of only one or two composers.
YKVC often performs with singers, recitant, lute, or chorus. The ensemble collaborates with otherearly music ensembles such recorder quartet, viol consort, with traditional Japanese instrument
players, for example sho, kokyu, shinobue or drum, and with other Asian instrument, Sitar.
Programming depends also on the request of sponsors, and may include lecture-concerts for composers,
children or adults.
Laboratory for composers:

By request, YKVC provides an experimental opportunity for composers

who want to compose for viol consort. YKVC demonstrates early and contemporary typical viol pieces
and provides sound samples, and also plays the composers’ works or sketches. Through associations
with composers YKVC have found (and commissioned) new repertoire to accommodate groups on alllevels.
Teachings:

Teaching workshops is also a frequent activity. Members of the consort are accustomed

to coaching players with very different backgrounds and levels of experience, as well as coaching
individual players and groups in the performance, interpretation, and understanding of contemporary
music for viols.

Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort

Reviews on YKVC

From Europe
Their performance was as precise and gracious … the didactic treatment of counterpoint suddenly
turns into musical refinement and loveliness. The fact that the eloquence of the gamba was not
extinguished in the Baroque was proven by these Japanese ladies.
At the Concert halls of Vereins and Westbank, September 20, 1991, Die Welt, Hamburg“Suite für noble Katzen anf Japanischen Violen”.
The sound was extremely well-blended and well-articulated, and the instruments enriched thepolyphonic texture still more clearly with rhythmic and dynamic sensibilities.
September 20, 1991, Hamburger Abendblatt

From United States of America
At the July 2000 Viola da Gamba Society of America Conclave at Portland, Oregon,～ the largest gathering of gambists in the world ～ these comments were made:I have never heard a concert with greater delicacy and brilliance of performance than that of theKambe Consort.
George Houle, Professor of Music Emeritus, Stanford University
Of all our concerts in the year 2000, the Kambe Consort had by far the best reviews ~ for many it was
the absolute high point of the Conclave.
Martha Bishop, Artistic Director
The Kambe Viol Consort plays with the suave polish of a great string quartet. They can both astonish
and charm.
Brent Wissick, UNC-Chapel Hill, President VdGSA
The standing ovation, the only one I can recall in recent years at the conclave, was well deserved.
John Mark, MusicSources, Berkeley
The Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort revealed highly polished technicians with a cosmopolitan, dominating
intelligence, warmth and humor. The audience saw a commitment to the music itself that goesbeyond questions of individuality vs. commonality.
Lyle York, "Gamba News", VdGS / Pacifica, Sep. 2000
The instruments of the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort sound like they are being played by a single person.
It is a different conception of art.

From 2002 American Tour
“4 Viols: The sound of 1 mind, playing”
Every piece played with tremendous musicality andintegrity. … The four instruments … created a wonderfully balanced sound. The four women are …
matching articulations, accents and releases flawlessly.
Elaine Schmidt, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, February 24, 2002
“Yukimi Kambe Consort superbly connects past and present”
The players are superb. The
group has the same precision and wordless communication as a longstanding string quartet. That israre here, where even established viol groups are likely to come together from different cities just forconcentrated rehearsals before a tour.
Philippa Kiraly, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, March 5, 2002
“Report on the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort”
Their emphasis on unity, coupled with impressive discipline, produces a sound I can only describe asorganic.
Lyle York, "Gamba News", VdGS / Pacifica, March 2002

From 2004 American Tour
“Fine Old Strings”
They are not only experts in new music. The first half of the program included some real standards forviol consort as well as a few old friends in new guises. On the standard end, the group chose
Charpentier's lovely Concert in d minor. …the consort displayed an intimate knowledge of Frenchmusical language. …Purcell's fifth Fantasia, replete with classic Purcellian clashing dissonances.
…Tenor viol player Eriko Ozawa had a lovely moment in the sun in Ludwig Senfl's "Ich stund an einem
Morgen". …Diego Ortiz' Recercada Secunda sobre "Passamezzo Moderno" were remarkably performedby Kaori Hashizume. …Their strumming, bowing and percussive knocking provided a lively setting
for the dance. Yukimi Kambe shone on the highly ornamented chorale tune "O Man, Bemoan thy
Grievous Sin" set by Bach in the Little Organ Book. Her melody floated beautifully over the organ-like
homogeneity of the viol consort sound. Maki Noguchi's steadily lovely performance of the chorale tunein Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" contributed to the novel and effective performance of this oldfavorite.
Sunday's selection also featured new favorites…Sang Hwa by young Japanese composer Yoko Sato.
Sato fully exploits the capacity for the viols, including chordal passages, strumming, various otherpizzicato techniques and a variety of bowings, all executed by the consort. …Ryouhei Hirose's Suite
for Noble Cats…the members of the YKVC displayed a great sense of fun and freedom, collectively
varying their tempo and visibly enjoying themselves. …the group impeccably performed a challenging
and pleasurable selection of pieces.
Rebekah Ahrendt, San Francisco Classical Voice, San Francisco, CA, March 25, 200412

Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort

From 2006 North-American Tour“Concert blends new, old harmoniously”
The consort performed … a gentle call to attention, with spotlessly tight ensemble and exquisite
intonation.
Jennifer Hambrick, The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus, OH, March 11, 2006
“Kambe, viol-mates produce natural, effortless music”
These four virtuosi have honed the art of viol playing to the ultimate level of refinement and beauty ofsound. … Their playing is exquisite, an efloration of warm resonance, with a firm, precise energy as
gentle as the movement of light airs, softly flowing water and the sunny play of light and shadow in aleafy grove. In other word, natural and effortless.
Stephen Pedersen, The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, Canada, March 22, 2006
“East Interprets West”
East did meet West through this Japanese consort's noteworthy ability to select, arrange, and place apersonal interpretive stamp upon great works from severaral centuries of the Western musicaltradition.
Jonathan Rhodes Lee, San Francisco Classical Voice, San Francisco, CA, April 1, 2006
“Viol consort makes up for slow start with vivid Baroque interpretation”
As they showed on the rest of the program, they can be lively and adventurous in repertoire andinterpretation. Bach’s Toccata BWV914… Their remarkable ensemble gestures slid seamlessly in
midphrase from player to player. They were like sisters completing each other’s sentences. Conceicao’s“Battle” … The consort aptly roughened the sound of this rustic tone poem. Sato’s “Sang Hwa”, Loeb’s“The Cries of Kyoto” and Fantasia “Tohoku” and Hirose’s “Suite for Noble Cats”… These engaging
pieces require extended techniques unheard in the viol’s Renaissance and Baroque salad days… are theviol consort’s natural habitat. That’s not too polite.
Tom Strini, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee, WI, April 9, 2006

From Japan“Fascinated by warm sounds”
The warm sound of the gambas filled the whole temple precinct. Sometimes they made harmonies
together, and sometimes their melodies followed one another. Each instrument showed its goodcharacteristics at the concert.
At Kenninji Temple, International Music Festival in Kyoto ’92
The Asahi Shimbun, December 10, 1992
The program “The creation of modern music with the viola da gamba” was really rich and ofhigh-quality. It was a precious treasure of music. Congratulations! I also appreciated theperformances having sharp expressions, full of tension and yet at the same time gentle and flexible.
Junzo OHAMA, music critic and chief director of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)(Exhibition of Viol Music X-2, Misakicho Church, Tokyo)

Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort
The harmonic sound made by four viols is rich in familiar feeling and beautiful, which, beyond theharmony of Western music, we can take in the beauty of calmness of traditional Japanese culture.
This consort has an extensive repertoire of gentle English music and flowery French music. In theirconcerts contemporary Japanese works for gamba are frequently played. Their unconventionality iseffective enough to entertain the audience. Through the heartwarming concert of this consort, manyin the audience recognize the charm of the viola da gamba.
Tadashi ISOYAMA, Professor of Kunitachi College of Music, Tokyo
The Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort is the only consort group in performance continually and vigorously
throughout Japan. The outstanding achievement of this consort is that through inviting many
composers to write new works for them (in addition to the well-known Renaissance and Baroque pieces)they have actively broadened the possibilities of the viol consort and have made great efforts toincrease their audiences.
The performances of the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort are distinguished by their miraculous harmony
brought by a sense of tuning, their excellent ensemble techniques and comprehensive interpretations
based on thorough preparation. Considering the above-mentioned background, no one doubts
whether my statement is quite appropriate.
Prof. Dr. Ryuichi HIGUCHI, Musicologist & Conductor, Directorof University Library, Meiji Gakuin University, Tokyo
The Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort under the direction of Ms. Kambe leads a highly unique existence.
Without ever disregarding traditional works they play premiere performances of contemporarycomposers’ works very flexibly, capturing the essence of each piece as well. I don’t know of any such
unique ensemble in Japan other than the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort. All composers like me are
secretly waiting until they call us and give us a chance to write for them.
Hikaru HAYASHI, composer
The Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort is a highly significant ensemble, performing traditional and modern
repertoire with equal enthusiasm. I hope that many people throughout the world will come to know
this consort, and they will be able to expand their activities greatly.
Kikuko MASSＵMOTO, composer
The performance activity of Ms. Yukimi Kambe and her group gives an Oriental spirit to early
European instruments.
Haruna MIYAKE, composer / pianist“They put new wine into new wineskins”, says the New Testament, but this consort bravely puts music
into the old skins more and more. Sometime the vessel may be torn, but they always find a way tomend it; they have after all created a “vessel” for both new and old music.
Tsutomu MIZUNO, composer
I have watched them develop into an outstanding ensemble combining extreme precision, clarity ofsound, and vivacity with deep knowledge and understanding of their highly varied repertoire ranging
from the early Renaissance through the present. The attributes cannot exist in the absence of greatcommitment. They have given more premiere performance of recent works than most new music orcontemporary ensembles.

CD Reviews
Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort, Foglia d’olivo, works for viols by Tsutomu Mizuno. YKVC0302
The CD’s title, Foglia d’olivo translates as “Olive leaf.” Mr. Mizuno aims to compose pleasant works
both for audiences and performers. The Kambe Consort provides us with its usual excellent
performances of these Mizuno pieces with impeccable ensemble, musical interpretation, and perfectly
tuned sonorities. In casual listening to this recording the overall impression can be that of hearing
many cat cries, but the listener is encouraged to listen closely to the innovative harmonies, interesting
rhythms, viol/voice sonorities, dramatic moments and great variety of sounds. This is a welcome
collection of accessible modern music for viols!
Martha Bishop, VdGSA news, Sep. 2003, p.15
David Loeb: Four Fantasias for the Japanese Consort PRB Production, CC041. These fantasias are heard
in CD: Echoes from Bronze Bells --- Music by David Loeb. VMM2029.
These pieces were written for the Yukimi Kambe Consort. It includes many short descriptive pieces.
Among them, "Cries of Kyoto" and the Fantasia "Tohoku", were inspired by Japanese traditional music,
especially in their scales. Another piece, "Indonesian" employs Balinese and Javanese scales. The
last one, a very joyful piece, "Indian" is based on Indian classical music. In all the pieces, it iscommonly observed that Loeb actively introduces a new sound for the gamba consort, and justoccasionally borrows the "classical" European consort style. Thus, there emerges a wonderful,impressionistic, charming miniature of sound. One can hardly think of it. Nor can one learn it otherthan from the attractive and sonorous interpretation in the above-mentioned CD of the Yukimi Kambe
Consort. It is a true development of the consort repertoire, though exclusively for advanced players.
Pierre Funck, Viola da Gamba Gesellschaft Switzerland, Mitteilungen Nr.53, März 2004, p.15

Ja, doch Bach mit Gambenconsort, YKVC0503
The latest recording of the Yukimi Kambe Viol Consort is a real treasure of beautiful music played
exquisitely. True, most of the works on the recording are transcriptions of organ and harpsichord works,
but even purists on the subject of authenticity are sure to appreciate the subtle inflections viols areable to give to Bach's counterpoint. Yukimi's carefully prepared CD notes explain that viols werebrought to Japan by Portuguese missionaries in 1561 to assist in singing masses because there was noorgan until about 1580. So Yukimi felt the consort was following historical practice in playing organ
music on viols. Additionally, it gave her consort further insights into expressive playing and expanded
their repertoire. Of course it goes without saying that Bach himself often re-scored his own pieces tosuit various purposes.
Selections on the CD are drawn from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Musical Offering, Art of Fugue,
cantatas and chorales. Yukimi considers playing chorales as a starting point for playing viol consorts
because the viol historically has imitated the human voice. One of the most stunning pieces on the CD(musically as well as visually--I've seen them perform it !) is the Prelude No.1 from Well-Tempered
Clavier. In the Kambe version, each player of the consort plucks one or two notes in the arpeggios, inthe manner of hand-bells. The result is stunningly coordinated and expressive--quite harp-like. Florid
playing bordering on virtuosic is often present on the CD, notably in much of the treble obbligato
playing, and in the bass's finale in the organ toccata. The toccata is also particularly effective on viols
because of the bariolage technique, and effect completely lost on organ.
I definitely think Bach himself would approve of the spirit and beauty of this recording, and want to
own it and listen to it many times!
