Description

[Machine Translation] The UK original version of the much-talked-about "Be a Thousand Winds" is now available! The song "Be a Thousand Winds" was written by Mitsuru Arai, an Akutagawa Prize-winning author, and translated from a poem by an unknown author. The song, "Be a Thousand Winds", which was written by Mitsuru Arai, an Akutagawa Award-winning author, has been gaining a great deal of sympathy in Japan. The poem used in this song has become a hot topic not only in Japan but also in the world! In the UK, the poem, which was written in a letter from a soldier killed in a terrorist attack by the IRA in 1989 with the preface "Please don't hate the people who killed me", has been a topic of conversation. Jeff Stevens, who composed "There's A Kind Of Hush" for the Carpenters, was so moved by this poem that he composed it. Since then, the song has been loved in the UK. This is the UK version sung by Katherine Jenkins (a different song from "Be A Thousand Winds" which has become a topic of conversation in Japan). The English version of the song, with its simple and beautiful melody and Katherine's velvet voice, evokes a different kind of emotion. Katherine Jenkins (mezzo-soprano), Rudolfs Choir (chorus conductor: Ralph Allwood), Prague Sinfonia, Anthony Inglis (conductor)

千の風になって (UKオリジナル・ヴァージョン) / キャサリン・ジェンキンス

話題沸騰の「千の風になって」のUKオリジナル・ヴァージョン登場! 作者不詳の詩を芥川賞作家・新井満が訳詩し曲をつけた「千の風になって」。「私のお墓の前で泣かないでください わたしはそこにいません 死んでなんかいません 千の風になってふきわたっています」という内容の歌「千の風になって」が日本でいま大きな共感を呼んでいる。この曲に使用された詩は日本だけでなく世界でも話題に! UKでは、1989年にIRAによるテロで亡くなった兵士の手紙に「私を殺した人を恨まないでください」という前置きと共に書かれていたこの詩が話題を呼び、さらにBBCで1995年この内容がドキュメンタリーとして放映され大きな感動を呼んだ。カーペンターズでも有名な「見つめあう恋人 (There's A Kind Of Hush)」を作曲したジェフ・スティーヴンスがこの詩に衝撃を受け作曲。以来UKで愛され続けてきた。それが、キャサリン・ジェンキンスが歌うこのUKヴァージョン(日本で話題となっている「千の風になって」とは別の曲)。シンプルかつ美しいメロディに載った英語ヴァージョンの「千の風になって」が、キャサリンのヴェルヴェット・ヴォイスにのり、もうひとつの感動を呼び起こす。 キャサリン・ジェンキンス (メッゾ・ソプラノ)、ルドルフス・クワイヤー (合唱指揮: ラルフ・オールウッド)、プラハ・シンフォニア、アンソニー・イングリス (指揮)
