Choro Club with Vocalistas - Takemitsu Songbook (2011)

A total of 15 songs sung by Ann Sally, Tomoe Sawa, Shizuru Otaka, Yuichi Ohata, Takashi Matsudaira, Mio Matsuda, and tamamix on the cool tones of mandolin, guitar, and contrabass. With the beautiful voice of "Vocalistas", Takemitsu melody begins to live in the "now" of 2011.

While collecting "Songs" by Toru Takemitsu, I listened to the name "Toru Takemitsu" with almost no awareness of its existence. It's almost a rare experience. An album that is different from the compilation of various artists in the world and the one artist recorded as "Toru Takemitsu Songbook".

It's not a single song, but because it's an album, it's a flow, and when this song comes, it's coming, and if the voices of women of different qualities continue, there's a male voice, and there are multiple voices that overlap. A story that is casually designed with no idea that there is. There is also the surprise that songs that are mostly sung in German or Japanese appear in Japanese or English. The instrumental-only "chill out" is also effective.

It is not because "Toru Takemitsu" is the flow. This is because it is a Choro Club while being "Toru Takemitsu". The tones of the three swords are entwined. Tremolo, beat, Latin atmosphere. And the sound that decays in time -----. Toru Takemitsu, a composer who was born in 1930 and died in 1996. While mainly concert music, which is an extension and expansion of European art music, the music in the field of movies and plays had another appeal. Included in this album are the songs that were created and began to live (breath?) On their own.
