Nippon Crown Takayo Okamura Grand CollectionThe second collaboration between Nippon Crown and King International, transcending the boundaries between record companies, features Takayo Okamura, who passed away on January 6, 2021 at the age of 89. He was one of Japan's leading bass singers, and was the only Japanese soloist to participate in the Italian Opera Company's tour of Japan. Not only as an opera singer, but also as a TV host, actor, and writer with his rich voice and eye-catching appearance, he was a great figure who enlightened classical music in the Showa era. He was a great educator of classical music in the Showa era. Because he did not prefer live recordings, his discs are limited in spite of his activities, and unfortunately, there are not many opportunities to listen to his beautiful voice today. The five discs produced by Nippon Crown are masterpieces that, even by his own admission, convey the full appeal of Okamura's powerful singing and virtuosity. This is a memorial project that brings together these five discs, which are currently hard to find. This is a permanent collection of the great bass singer and entertainer, Takao Okamura.
