Maki Mori

Description:

For Maki Mori, arias from church music are as important to her repertoire as opera arias, and each time she sings them in concert, they have always stirred deep and quiet emotions in her audiences. While the operas are sung about love in the human world, the arias in this collection are sung either proudly or elegantly in praise of God's love and the greatness of the Creator. The beauty of the songs is brought out by the purity of the voice, which is naturally beautiful but without vibrato, and the singer's single-minded focus on the lyrics delivers a deep, sincere, and spiritual message directly to the listener's heart. The world of "expression" that only Maki Mori can create, where sincerity and sincerity without exaggeration or pretense are the highest expression, has come to fruition here.
