A poetic and tranquil soundscape woven together by words and music
A concept album where narration and the sounds of strings gently soak into the soul.
"The Sea" is a unique work from 1968 that combines the narration of actor Koji Ishizaka with the beautiful string music of the American musical group "San Sebastian Strings". The original is a poetry album by Rod McKuen, and in the Japanese version, Ishizaka reads the poems with great emotion. The delicate, flowing string music overlaps with the lingering echoes of the words, making you feel as if you are traveling to the depths of your heart. This is a tranquil and profound work that blurs the boundaries between music and literature and gives you time to gently reexamine your life.
