BEST OF YOSHIKAZU MERA

BEST OF YOSHIKAZU MERA Artist : Yoshikazu Mera Album : BEST OF YOSHIKAZU MERA 일본의신세대 카운터 테너 메라요시카즈(米良美一)의 앨범입니다. 그는 1996년스웨덴 레코드사에서 발매된 MOTHER'S SONG이나 [나이팅게일] 등의 음반으로 인기를 끌고 있는 인물인데 여성으로 착각하게 만드는 이러한 카운터 테너의 인기는 어찌보면 유니남녀 성 구분이 없어지는 추세와도 관련이 있지 않을까 싶습니다. 참고로 카운터 테너란음반을 들어보면 알겠지만 쉽게 생각해 여성의 목소리를 연상시키는 고음역의 보컬을 의미한답니다. ‘테너’라는 말만 듣고 샀다가 웬여자목소리인가 하고 속았다고 할 분이 없기를... 카운터 테너는 원래 르네상스시기에 다성음악에서 테너 바로 윗 음역을 구사하는 콘트라테노르 (Contratenor)를 의미는데 요즘엔 남성의 높은 음역의 가성을 의미하는 용어로 사용되고 있습니다. ♬Akatonbo (The Red Dragonfly) 개별듣기... ♬01.
