Ozzie Kotani TO HONOR A QUEEN: LILI'UOKALANI (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: TO HONOR A QUEEN: LILI'UOKALANICondition: NewDescription: AMAZON Hawaii's Queen Lili'uokalani was a ruler who was also a prodigious composer, penning over 150 songs that attempted to capture the essence of her kingdom during her lifetime. So it's only apt that this album should interpret some of that work instrumentally by master player Ozzie Kotani through the national slack key guitar style. Even without words, the pieces turn out to be rich and full, whether the bell-like tones of "Moanalua" or the beauty of "Aloha 'Oe", a song forever associated with Hawaii and here given an interesting treatment by Kotani, who slows the pace to that of a languid Pacific sunset. Lili'uokalani obviously loved melody and in Kotani she has a sympathetic champion who plays her work with thought and love. George Winston's crystalline production adds wonderful depth and the entire album is a refreshing, even spiritual experience. --Chris NicksonFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Ozzie KotaniNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony MusicEAN: 0080223801820MPN: 8022380182 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
