The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain: Lyrics for Stacey Kent

內容簡介

內容簡介 諾貝爾獎得主石黑一雄跨界作，抒寫爵士浪漫早在首部小說之前，石黑一雄便寫過上百首歌詞。但直到二〇〇二年，他接受美國爵士女伶史黛西肯特Stacey Kent音樂伴侶的邀請，才正式成為作詞者。這本歌詞集收錄16首石黑為肯特創作的歌詞，搭配義大利藝術家巴納雷利風格明朗、情感豐富的插畫。誠如石黑導言所說：「無論歌曲多悲傷、多淒涼，希望是永不缺席的元素」，歌詞也充滿對旅行的嚮往和苦樂參半的浪漫。Stacey Kent曾榮獲法國授予藝術與文學騎士勳章，多次入圍葛萊美獎，石黑一雄曾在2002年的一個廣播節目Desert Island上表示自己喜歡Stacey Kent的歌“They Can’t Take That Away from Me”。後來Stacey Kent得知非常開心，因為她也是石黑一雄的書迷，意外促成一段音樂與文學的長久友誼，也是這本歌詞集誕生的原因。由義大利插畫家Bianca Bagnarelli繪製清爽、感性與極具氛圍的插圖，搭配石黑一雄的歌詞，品味憂傷、愛、距離感與旅行的浪漫。Memorably introduced by Ishiguro himself, The Summer We crossed Europe in the Rain collects the sixteen song lyrics he wrote for world-renowned American singer, Stacey Kent, which were set to music by her partner Jim Tomlinson. An exquisite coming together of the literary and musical worlds, the lyrics are infused with a sense of yearning, melancholy, love, and the romance of travel and liminal spaces.Further exploring the notion of collaboration and interpretation, the collection is illustrated by the acclaimed Italian artist, Bianca Bagnarelli whose work perfectly captures the atmosphere and sensibility of the songs.
