Description

[Machine Translation] Commemorative album for the 2013 visit to Japan. The song that goes deeper, bigger, and higher...overflowing. Two years have passed since the release of her second album. Two years after the release of her second album, Naoko Kawamura has released her third album for RCA Red Seal, which projects her current musicality, which continues to grow and deepen. The album features four Chopin ballades, and continues Kawamura's strong affinity for Chopin's works, which was evident in her two previously released albums. The "Ballades," also called "sonic tale poems," not only require storytelling skills to literally "tell" a story with "sound," but are also the most profound and difficult of Chopin's works, along with the "24 Preludes," despite their high popularity. The selection of songs, including arrangements of songs, will inevitably demonstrate the charm of Kawamura's specialty, "Uta" (songs). The final piece is Liszt's arrangement of Wagner's "Isolde's Love Death". Isolde's love for Tristan is beautifully sublimated by the ecstasy of the "Songs" in this romantic masterpiece. Recorded at the Church of Jesus Christ in Berlin, Berlin, July 24-27, 2013.

Description in Japanese

ショパン: バラード [SACD Hybrid] / 河村尚子 (ピアノ)

2013年 来日記念盤。さらに深く、大きく、さらなる高みへ・・・溢れ出るうた。セカンドアルバム・リリースから2年。さらに成長を重ね、深まりを見せる河村尚子の現在の音楽性を投影したRCA Red Sealからのサード・アルバムの登場。ショパンのバラード4曲を中心に据え、既発売2枚で明らかになった河村のショパン作品への強い親和性を継承。「音譚詩」とも称される「バラード」は、文字通り「音」で物語を「語る」ストーリーテリングの技量が要求されるのみならず、高いポピュラリティがありながら、ショパンの作品の中でも、「24の前奏曲」と並び最も深遠な難曲。さらに歌曲の編曲作品を加えた選曲は、河村の得意な「うた」の魅力を存分に発揮すること必至。そして最後を締めくくるのはリスト編曲によるワーグナー「イゾルデの愛の死」。イゾルデのトリスタンへの思いが、エクスタシーを伴った「うた」によって美しく昇華されていくロマンティシズム溢れる名品。前2作同様、カラヤン&ベルリン・フィルの録音で馴染み深く、しかもその優れた音響で知られるベルリンのイエス・キリスト教会での録音。SACDハイブリッド盤 (2chのみ)でのリリース。2013年7月24~27日 ベルリン、イエス・キリスト教会での録音。
