Description:

Thirty years have passed since I started singing in front of you. During that time, I have received, held, and been held by so many people, and we have created music together. Without the countless "feelings" of all of you, I would not have been able to continue singing until today. I have selected this album as an encore to express my gratitude to all of you. With heartfelt "thanks". ???? Takashi FukuiTakashi Fukui has been a mainstay of the classical music world in Japan since his debut as Rodolfo in the opera "La bohème" in 1992, and since then he has performed leading roles in various operas at the Nikikai, Biwako Hall, and the New National Theatre, and has been the soloist in "The Ninth" and the NHK He is also a soloist in the "Ninth Symphony Orchestra" and a featured performer at the NHK New Year's Opera Concert, adding color to the year-end and New Year's festivities. A beautiful voice with a rich resonance, stable pitch, musicality, expressiveness, onstage acting ability, an honest and cheerful personality, and a passion for music are just a few of the many virtues of Ms. Fukui. However, there is something else that makes me want to go to Ms. Fukui's recitals and opera performances, even from afar, and I look forward to her new CDs.In a talk titled "What is Singing? in a talk titled "What is Singing?" to new students at the Kunitachi College of Music and third-year students who were just beginning their professional studies, Fukui described the "ideal vocalization" as "the vocalization of a baby. In order to convey to the students the "root of singing," he also goes back to the summer when he himself took a preparatory course for university entrance examinations, and relates an episode in which "his teacher, Mr. Tadahiko Hirano, told him, 'Hey, Fukui-kun, there are two kinds of inhalation and exhalation...'" (The story of the first time Mr. Fukui took a preparatory course for university entrance examinations was the summer after he took the course. According to Fukui, "Inhalation is the most important part of the process. According to Mr. Fukui, "inhalation" is not just breathing in, but is the process of perceiving various information that is taken in through the five senses, from which thoughts, feelings, and thoughts are born. Then, these thoughts, feelings, and thoughts become a call with words through "exhalation," which then becomes a song. For Fukui, singing is living. And, like a baby, Fukui's ideal is to absorb various things from the world in a natural way and call out to the world, which is the root of her songs.Whether it is an opera or a song, Ms. Fukui sings and expresses not only in one language, but also in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and many other languages. This CD is an album of a wonderful journey through the world of music that Ms. Fukui has taken with pianist Tsumugiko Tanaike, whom she has trusted completely for many years. The journey of tenor singer Takashi Fukui, who takes deep breaths of the world in a natural way without forgetting the purity of a "child," is never ending. What challenges will he present us next? We cannot take our eyes, ears, and hearts off of him. From the booklet by Naomi Miyatani, professor at Kunitachi College of Music
