Orlando

[Machine Translation] The long-awaited CD of music from the stage production of "Orlandeau" is now available! Orlando, a beautiful young aristocrat, is transformed into a woman overnight and pursues true love beyond time. The long-awaited Japanese premiere of "Orlando," a bold adaptation of Virginia Woolf's masterpiece novel, directed by Akira Shirai. Orlando", which reached its final performance with great success, has returned in the form of a soundtrack. The music gently invites the audience to the entire story, while keeping close to the rapidly changing times, countries, and genders. The music was composed by Masaki Hayashi, a pianist and composer who has demonstrated his talent in a wide range of genres. More than two dozen songs written for the stage "Orlando" evolved with each performance and eventually transformed into "Orlando" as a piece of music. The result is a piece of music that is not only a stage performance, but is also a piece of art that is very rewarding to listen to. <Listeners>4 Travels... This is a pleasant piece with an ensemble of three members (soprano saxophone, vibraphone, and piano). 9 Transformation... The baritone sax solo beautifully expresses Orlando's transformation from a man to a woman. 13 Ring... The sense of speed created by the minimal number of notes is captivating. All songs were recorded without overdubbing, and the ensemble is so colorful that it is hard to believe that it is just the three of them. <profile> Masaki Hayashi piano / Hiroshi Suzuki Saxophone / Hitomi Aikawa Vibraphone,Percussion Masaki Hayashi.
