I need to stress here for other customers that this is an opera album, not instrumental. There are only 2 instrumental (symphonic) compositions the first and the last one, the rest in the middle are sweet tenor and soprano songs based on the lyrics of Takashi Matsumoto, accompanied by full orchestra. The little booklet that comes with the CD contains presumably the lyrics of all 8 psalms (all in Japanese language of course). The singing is excellent. If you like to listen to such artists as ESCOLTA or Izumi Masuda (soprano), you might also like this new album of Akira Senju. Enjoy!
