Product Description
Released in December of 2006, Sonos' sixth recording explores the contrasts in American and Asian music. William Billings' Chester, Charles Ives' Serenity and George Gershwins' tour-de-force Porgy and Bess paired off against spirituals, folksongs and the pop classic I Left My Heart in San Francisco are contrasted with the classic beauty of Japan's ancient and modern musical heritage. Sakura, Sakura, Red Dragonfly and a stunning arrangement of three timeless folksongs evoke the classic sounds and energy of this beautiful country.
