Description
[Machine Translation] The Abbado/Berlin Philharmonic New Year's Eve concert on New Year's Eve 1995 was an all-Mendelssohn program. A Summer Night's Dream" was sung in German and recited in German by McNair and Kirchschlager, and at the same time, a session recording of the English version was made by the same members. The following July, an international version was completed and released, with English narration by renowned Shakespearean actor and director Kenneth Branagh. The Japanese version was translated by Kazuko Matsuoka, a leading translator of Shakespeare's works, and Kanji Ishimaru brought his versatility and expressive power to this fantastic musical drama. The coupling "Italy" Symphony is also a lighthearted masterpiece with plenty of melodic singing.
