Manami Hino - Love Letters [CD] (Japanese Import)

Thirteen love letters that depict the excitement and sadness of love through the flute. Love Letters, the first solo album by flutist Manami Hino, weaves classical love songs with delicate, limpid tones, from the thrill of longing for love to prayer, seduction, secret love, and transience. In addition to masterpieces like Puccini's "My Father" and Debussy's "Clair de Lune," the album also features newly arranged pieces.
