Symphonic Suite Queen Millennia

喜多郎为动画片《千年女王》所作的配乐，以交响乐团演奏的形式呈现。 从今天的眼光来看《千年女王》这部动画片，确实让人为之一雷，不过我相信这部动画片就是以“儿童动画“为出发点而作的，恰如今天的国产动画。 但是，如果你没有看过《千年女王》这部动画片，而先听听喜多郎为之所作的配乐，那可能只有一种感觉，那就是圣洁、神秘，甚至我们会认为配乐本身已经超越了那个时代。千年女王，光是听这个名字就已经足够大气了。 这个专辑的演奏都比较平淡。推荐第六首Pray for the Future The Los Angeles Symphonic Orchestra covers Queen Millennia. You also can find the vocal version of Angel Queen by Dara Sedaka (Guitar: Steve Lukather, Synthesizer: Kitaro, Background vocals: Richard Page & Steve George). The album was released in 1982 on LP and MC only, so no official CD version exist 洛杉矶交响乐团演奏的《千年女王》。另外可找到Dara Sedaka的声乐版本《Angel Queen》。专辑于1982年仅以LP和MC的形式发行，因此没有官方CD存在。 Masanori Takahashi, better known as Kitaro, is a Japanese new age musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist. 高桥正则，即喜多郎，日本新世纪音乐家、作曲家以及合成器乐家。 Kitaro’s various sound collaborations and resonant, multi-textured compositions truly defy the constraints of any genre. The Grammy and Golden Globe Award-Winning Kitaro has achieved global acclaim over a more than three decade long career with a signature sound and a pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness that are truly his own. Kitaro’s latest project, Impressions of the West Lake is a modern day opera conceived and directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou (Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower), the visionary artist behind the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The production is highlighted by music composed by Kitaro. Perhaps the single most significant collaboration on Impressions of the West Lake is between Zhang and the opera’s composer, Kitaro. This pairing of East-meets-East is a rare combination of two artists at the peak of their creative talents. The opera also marks a reunion for Kitaro and music arranger Randy Miller, the pair’s first effort together since the Golden Globe-winning soundtrack to Oliver Stone’s 1993 film Heaven and Earth.
