I'm German and i love this interpretation!! it's by far one of the most sentimental and strongest interpretation i've heard so far plus i find it really interesting hearing the poem i learned as a child in japanese xD
I think it is quite demanding to perform "Der Erlkönig" in another language. I really appreciate the japanese performance because it shows the universality of music and thought. No matter where you are from, music is about feelings and thus this video reminds me about it.
Very nice performance. The result is excellent. Asato Shizuki sure is an acomplished musician. She can act and sing with "her" music. Very beautiful. Can anyone give me the name of this concert/play whatever? Can i find it on the net?
