“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!”

“Each piece is performed with respect for the original. […] These familiar tunes offer plenty to enjoy and delight to listen to. You’re sure to find a harp piece you love. […] The cover art for the digital single, released ahead of the album, is also full of humor and reflects the imagery of the song. […] A collection of exquisite masterpieces for harp recitals and for harpists has been created.”

“Since the plucked sound of the Koto (Japanese Harp) is strongly associated with Japanese music, it seems quite fitting to hear Hisaishi’s music played on an Orchestral Harp. Most of the tracks are arranged (by Sacchi herself) for solo harp, but a few feature a violin played by violinist Linda Hedlund. Being a polyphonic instrument with a beautiful tone, a harp has a great expressive range and is well up to the task of showcasing this delightful music.”
