Description:
Poulenc, Satie, Ravel, and Weill… Poems of love—infinitely beautiful yet tinged with a touch of sadness— will be performed by coloratura soprano Mikiko Fukuda, whose lustrous voice and exceptional expressiveness bring them to life. Pianist Seiji Honda will also treat the audience to a magnificent performance, driven by his deep understanding of the music and unfailing technique. Coloratura soprano Mikiko Fukuda, who has captivated audiences with her radiant high notes and richly colored voice, explores new horizons by performing a selection of enchanting songs by Poulenc, Satie, and Weill. Her rich emotional expression, guided by a deep empathy for the poetry, combined with the solid vocal skills honed abroad, touches our hearts deeply. Pianist Seiji Honda, who honed his skills at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, possesses a deep understanding of the characteristics of French music and provides flexible, supportive accompaniment to Mikiko Fukuda’s singing. [Excerpt from Reiji Asakura’s liner notes] Listening to Mikiko Fukuda’s coloratura renditions of French art songs, no one could fail to be moved by the beauty and richness of her expansive, lustrous voice, the depth of her musical interpretation, and the diversity of her expression. Beliefs in love, sensuality and purity, resignation and vitality, dreams and longing, pleasure and despair… As Fukuda journeys through the world of French art songs, she accurately captures the essence and emotion of each piece, brilliantly bringing stories of romance and love to life with her elegant voice, colored by energy and passion. (Excerpt omitted) The recording by Akira Fukada, a master of sound, is the highlight of this album. The vocal soundstage is richly textured, and the three-dimensional imaging creates the illusion that the singer is performing right before your eyes. The beauty of Fukada’s recording lies in the balance between resonance and clarity. His technique—which avoids drowning in resonance without sounding dry, and maximizes the beauty of the sound image—is unrivaled. (...) Combined with its excellent sound quality, this album will captivate you with the profound charm of French art songs. (1/2) King International
