Various Artists - 100 Years of Japanese Song 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Charlotte de Rothschild writes InchI never imagined, when I learnt my very first Japanese song Karatachi no hana -Quince Flower - by Yamada Kohsaku in 1991, that thirty years later I would be bringing out my fourth of these beautiful songs. This is the third CD with piano accompaniment and like the other two, is a mixture of InchkakyokuInch, the Japanese equivalent of Lieder or Chanson, and of InchdouyouInch, popular songs that are sung in schools and then throughout life. It has truly been a wonderful journey of discovery and the songs on this album show that the art of composition of these western-style songs continues on into the present day.Inch
