Description:

Maki Mori looks back on her life as a singer and selects songs that remain in her heart and that she would like to continue to sing in the future. The depth of the works, which can be conveyed only today, can be heard in the Italian classics and Donaudi's songs, which should be considered the foundation of vocal music. The delicate beauty of modern French songs is enhanced by the clear voice with little vibrato. The virtuosity of modern classics such as "Amazing Grace" is also presented with great dignity. The beauty and depth of "Vocalise," in which the singers compete only with the power of their voices, are particularly impressive. Foster's songs, which were often requested, were sung in Japanese, making them even more poignant. Sometimes like the fresh morning light, sometimes like the calm of the night, this is a superb album that will be close to the hearts of all who love singing and music. A two-disc set overflowing with feelings. (C)RS
