Soprano Charlotte de Rothschild writes: “I regard Japan as my second home, having visited many times over the 27 years since 1991. This is partly because of the wonderfully warm welcome I get, partly because I love the beauty of the countryside, the culture and the history but also because the songs I sing truly touch my heart. This is my third [release] of ‘kakyoku’ [melody] and Adrian Farmer and I have put together some familiar and some unusual songs within the selection.” Charlotte de Rothschild studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and at the Royal College of Music in London. With her wide knowledge of the song repertoire, from different eras, countries and genres, she has created some wonderful themed programmes; the best known being the "Family Connections" programme which Charlotte has performed all over the world.
