This album features a studio recording of a program themed around “Water”—the first installment of her “Four Elements” (Water, Fire, Wind, Earth) concert series, which she has been developing since 2017. “Water,” which takes on various forms—such as flowing rivers, rain, and fountains—and blends seamlessly into our daily lives, has inspired many composers to create countless pieces. Kosuge has selected works by Mendelssohn, Fauré, and Chopin’s barcarolles, as well as Toru Takemitsu’s “Sketch of Rain,” alongside pieces by Ravel, Liszt, and Hiroshi Fujikura that depict the diverse forms of water. Her performance is enriched by delicate emotional expression and beautiful tone. The album concludes with Wagner’s *Tristan und Isolde*; as this is a tale of intense love unfolding on the open sea, “water” is, of course, an indispensable element.\n\n“…Even if it is a world of fantasy or imagination, its various poetic sentiments and emotions always resonate with this world. I would like to explore these diverse works created by nature to discover the origins of this beautiful world and the wonder of life itself.” (From Yuko Kosuge’s liner notes for the Japanese release)\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orchid Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595688763681,"sku":"4589538734763","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538734763.jpg?v=1790482304","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538734763","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
