Description:

The long-awaited collection of Japanese songs has finally been released! The heart of Japan, spun by one of Japan's leading divas, with a total of 28 songs. Ryoko Sunagawa, one of Japan's leading divas, is proud to present her long-awaited collection of Japanese songs. It contains 28 songs in total, including 17 famous Japanese songs that everyone is familiar with and 11 songs from Makiko Kinoshita's song collection "Hana no Kazu" and others. The SACD Hybrid disc features Sunagawa's clear and beautiful voice and her exquisite and rich ensemble with pianist Ryuichiro Sonoda, whom she trusts with her heart and soul. Ryoko Sunagawa on "When I Feel Sad: A Study of Japanese Songs" by Suminobu Kishi (opera researcher)Ryoko Sunagawa is a famous soprano who is known for her roles as the "patient daughter" in Puccini's "La bohème" as the lovely seamstress Mimi or the female slave Liù in "Turandot". In recent years, however, she has also devoted herself to recitals. She has also made significant inroads into the world of Japanese songs. Sunagawa, who studied in Rome and Milan for five years, continued to perform in opera very early in her career, and her enthusiasm for Japanese songs has only grown stronger in recent years. Ryoko Sunagawa's way of singing is to deliver her pronunciation in a cool manner and to effuse her melodies in a passionate and beautiful manner. She recently performed the role of Tsu in Ikuma Dan's famous opera "Yuzuru" to great acclaim, and those who listen to this album will no doubt be surprised at the dignity and precision of expression that her Japanese vocals bring to the melody. Speaking of which, when I recently had the opportunity to interview Sunagawa, she spoke about her singing voice in this way with an indifferent face.My voice is not very dramatic, but I chose this song because I wanted to express the emotions that overflow into the song. I was happy to have Mr. Sonoda accompany me..." What? By "Sonoda-kun," do you mean the famous conductor Ryuichiro Sonoda? I was somewhat taken aback, and opened my mouth to respond. Yes, I am. We won the Gotoh Memorial Foundation's Opera Newcomer Award in the same year, and I usually call him 'Sono-chan. Sometimes, when I politely call her "Sonoda-sensei," she jokingly replies, "Ryoko-sensei! (laughs). It is precisely because of this frank exchange that the lyricism of the songs and the piano on this recording overlap so perfectly. In the past few years, I have had more opportunities to sing Japanese songs. I learn a lot from the audience's direct reactions. Now that I have more experience on stage, I want to try out some of Kosaku Yamada's masterpieces, and I really love Yoshinao Nakata's "I Talked to the Fog. I hope I can have a moment of 'closeness of heart' with everyone who listens to me. She hopes that her wish will reach the hearts of everyone who picks up this recording. (1/2) Naxos Japan
