Seiji Ozawa in Tokyo, opera no mori

少し前に、小澤　征爾さんが指揮するオペラを観てきました。あのエネルギー、集中力、音楽！まるで、自分の家のどこかにいくみたいにダダーッと指揮台に駆け上がってきて、音楽を創っていた。すごいオーラというか、気というかなにか目に見えない物がある方でした。感動！

I had a chance to see the opera, "Eugeni onehin" by Pyotr Tchaikovsky which conducted by one of my favorite conductor, Mr. Seiji Ozawa about a week ago. I was so amazed about his energy, passion and concentration which was kept high from beginning to end. In his book, which he wrote years ago, he said the conductor need some kind of "Aura" not only musical knowledge and conducting technique. I'v never seen the conductor like him who has such an attracitive aura. It was impressive.

ちょっと先ですが、連休中に演奏があります。お時間がある方は是非！
I'm pleased to announce gig with tenor saxophonist, Bob Shepperd in Kanazawa in May. Please come to join us!

梅！Japanese plum flower!

ここ最近、暖かくなって、梅の花がきれいに咲いています。日本は春の花が順番に花開いて、緑がだんだん濃くなって、空気や水がゆるんでいくのが本当によくわかる。富山は山も海もあるから、格別にそう思うのかもしれませんが。
There is "Ume" flower, Japanese plum folwer, in full bloom near my house. Japanese transition from one season to the next is really slow, little by little. We can see how the nature changes clearly, especially in Toyama which is surrounded by rich nature. I love it a lot.

最近よく聴いているvoice/composerのmeredith monkと、bjorkの対談がmeredith monkのweb siteに載っていました。おもしろい！

There are a lot of article about Tibet lately. When I felt depressed in Boston, I often read book of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. His teaching was really simple and realistic. I think the idea that he changes his insistence about independence of Tibet from china after 50 years of his exhile is not realistic.....Anyway, nobody want bloodbath in Tibet again. I hope peace will be back to tibet as soon as possible.
