Editorial Reviews
This delightful program of Japanese song is presented by renowned soprano Charlotte de Rothschild, joined by the City of London Sinfonia. Charlotte was first introduced to the beauty of Japanese music during her first visit to Japan in 1991. She learned Karatachi no hana (Quince flower) by Kohsaku Yamada for use as an encore piece, and the reaction she received from the audience led her to take on further Japanese repertoire exploration. I discovered the joys of kakyoku- their version of art song and of dou-you- a kind of traditional song. I know that the wonderful orchestration created for these songs, which were original written with piano accompaniment, lifts them to a whole new level (Charlotte de Rothschild)

I have been a fan of Miss de Rothschild's for many years now! I have just about every CD she has made. I have to say I bought it yesterday and listened to it last night. It is has become my favorite of her CDs. She has an amazing voice with many various in the tones from highs to lows! This CD is a must have!
The CD would have been better if it was instrumental. I did not know the singer was a soprano. The singer's voice is beautiful, but not for this song. Was hoping for regular people singing the song. .
Quite beautiful. Is this a Western take on Japanese music, or is it wholly Eastern? I do not know, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening and re-listening to this CD
