Loversion

[Machine Translation] This is a piano album by Nanae Wada, created with originality from a unique perspective based on the composition of classical music from baroque form, classical music, to contemporary music and its performance expression methods. The music is a new kind of luxury music, not as heavy as classical music but not as light as healing music, harmonizing the sensual and beautiful euphoria of the theme of "romance and love" with the orthodox performance techniques of classical music. In addition to completely original compositions, the album includes impressive pieces that are dramatically reworked by extracting a part of a particularly subjective melody from a famous classical piece such as Chopin's "Fantasy Improvisation," Bach's "Sheep Graze in Peace," or Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," as well as simple pieces such as "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star," "Sakura Sakura," and "Sakura Sakura. The booklet contains a selection of his works, including his book, "Cute Woman" and "Cute Woman's Song. The booklet includes a newly written essay by Lio Satonaka, bestselling author of the "Cute Woman" series, as well as endorsement comments by Yasuko Nagamine (butoh dancer) and Takuo Ikeda (music journalist).

バロック形式・古典派から現代曲に至るクラシック音楽の構成やその演奏表現方法をもとに、独特の視点でオリジナリティーを発揮して制作した和田七奈江のピアノ・アルバム。音楽内容は、「恋愛・愛」をテーマにした官能美ある陶酔感と、クラシックの正統派な演奏技術を調和させた、クラシック音楽ほど重たくないけれど、癒し系音楽ほど軽くない、新感覚のラグジュアリー・ミュージック。収録曲は、完全オリジナル作品のほか、ショパン「幻想即興曲」や、バッハ「羊は安らかに草を食む」、またはメンデルスゾーン「結婚行進曲」等のクラシック名曲の中から特に主体性あるメロディー一部分を取り出して、ドラマティックに作り変えた印象的な作品や、「きらきら星」「さくらさくら」などのシンプルな童謡に新たな構成感を付け足し、ファンタジックに表現した作品など多様性に富む。ブックレットには著書「かわいい女」シリーズのベストセラー作家・里中李生の書き下ろしエッセイや長嶺ヤス子 (舞踏家)・池田卓夫 (音楽ジャーナリスト)からの推薦コメントなども掲載。
