Pie Jesu

[Machine Translation] The world's oldest opera house, Dresden State Opera, with a history of 450 years, is coming to Japan for the first time in a quarter of a century! Maki Mori will play the young heroine Zoffi in their famous opera "The Knight of the Roses". A special program was broadcast on Nippon Television in April prior to the ticket sales, and the popularity of the opera is expected to break out when it comes to Japan in late November. The third work to be released in conjunction with the tour is a collection of religious arias sung in Europe. The three Mozart pieces were sung throughout last year's Mozart Year, and there were strong requests for CD recordings in many places. Faure's Pied-a-jes is a standard encore piece in the forest, and there have been many requests for a CD recording of this piece as well. This is a gem of Maki Mori, who has a beautiful voice that seems out of this world and a deep and delicate spiritual sense.

450年という歴史を持つ世界最古のオペラ・ハウス、ドレスデン国立歌劇場が四半世紀ぶりに来日公演! 彼らが世に送り出した名作オペラ「ばらの騎士」の若きヒロイン・ゾフィーを森麻季が演じる。チケット発売に先立ち4月から日本テレビ系で特別番組が組まれるなど、11月下旬の来日公演では人気ブレイクが予想される。それに合わせてリリースされる第3作は、ヨーロッパで歌い込んだ宗教曲のアリア集。モーツァルトの3曲は昨年のモーツァルト・イヤーを通じて歌い込み、各地でCD録音の要望が強かった。フォーレのピエ・イエズは森のアンコール定番曲でこちらもCD化の要望が非常に強かったもの。この世のものとも思えない美しい声と、深く繊細なスピリチュアルなセンスを併せ持つ森麻季ならではの逸品。
