JOE HISAISHI BY FLORALEDA SACCHI
“My love for Japan is quite evident since I was a child when my father, who spoke Japanese, used to read me Japanese books and showed me Japanese artworks.
Since long I was listening to the beautiful Joe Hisaishi’s music – so transparent and poetical – and I was always wandering why it is not played on Harp. It is not an easy task to adapt and play it on this instrument, but here it is. Hope you will enjoy my vision and my rendition!”
