Fall into place

It’s a bit of a cliché for classical music radio stations to play Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” at the equinoxes and solstices. And, generally speaking, it is my opinion that a little Vivaldi goes a long way. But today’s earworm is a somewhat different take—played by a Koto ensemble.

I don’t know whether they made the leap to CDs, but they did make it to the Internet. So, in honor of the autumnal equinox on Wednesday, here’s the New Koto Ensemble playing “Autumn”.
