Though I really don't know their glory days in 60s, their songs are very familiar to me on some films and famous albums.<br /><br />I love the melody of their songs of course, moreover lyrics that Paul Simon writes yield a deep beauty and a philosophy. His rhyming jingles feel a lump in my throat. I sang with them "Sound of Silence", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "The Boxer", "America " and so on.<br />Though Art's voices faded away their high-toned beauty like the old days, Paul's voices and guitar playing were very touched to me.<br /><br />What a fantastic night, anyway.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://file.kuribo.blog.shinobi.jp/IMG_0058.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 366px; height: 274px;" src="http://file.kuribo.blog.shinobi.jp/IMG_0058.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313391516165958644-2795494670850821596?l=kurijapan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17565082188869436178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313391516165958644.post-76909787155592515222009-06-11T23:12:00.001+09:002009-06-11T23:16:17.720+09:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HQz7mX28PCE/SjERZ6XGTWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/C9GrO41V0P8/s1600-h/nyaso_AtsushiYamada2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 137px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HQz7mX28PCE/SjERZ6XGTWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/C9GrO41V0P8/s320/nyaso_AtsushiYamada2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346073369526029666" border="0" /></a>I went to the concert of New York Asian Symphony Orchestra at the Tokyo International Forum. Atsushi Yamada, a conductor of this orchestra, was a formerly IBMer. He quit IBM and went to New York City to become a conductor. It's amazing, I think.<br /><div class="entryContentContainer"><wbr><br /><wbr>They played some part of Puccini's famous opera like "<wbr><span class="font-12"><wbr>Turandot</span><wbr>"<wbr> and "<wbr>Madama Butterfly"<wbr> with vocalists. I was intoxicated with their performance and beautiful Puccini's tunes.<br /><wbr><br /><wbr>If you have a chance, please take a look at IBM alumnus's great success.<br /><wbr><br /><wbr><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><wbr>New York Asian Symphony Orchestra</span><wbr><br /><wbr><a href="http://www.nyaso.org/"><wbr>http<wbr>://w<wbr>ww.n<wbr>yaso<wbr>.org<wbr>/</a><wbr></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6313391516165958644-7690978715559251522?l=kurijapan.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17565082188869436178noreply@blogger.com0
