Description:
The Definitive Collection, featuring Akira Ifukube’s latest art songs: the supremely austere “Blue Heron” and the profoundly evocative “Sacred Spring”! This is the definitive collection of Akira Ifukube’s art songs by Yumi Aikawa, who has systematized Japanese art songs and, with a consistent and penetrating perspective, has studied and performed works—and the composers behind them—that were once swayed by arbitrary ideologies. This re-release features the new song “Blue Heron”—premiered last year by Aikawa, in whom composer Akira Ifukube placed immense trust—and “Sacred Spring,” the insert song from the film *Mothra vs. Godzilla*, all at a reduced price. The new piece, “Blue Heron,” for soprano, oboe, piano, and double bass, is a masterpiece born from the resonance between the poetry of the late Genzo Sarashina—who spent his life singing of Hokkaido’s harsh natural landscape—and the soul of Akira Ifukube, who was also born and raised in Hokkaido. Featuring masterful performances by carefully selected musicians, including Aikawa and Indiamure, —including Aikawa and Indiamure—is not to be missed.
