DREAM

It's been 25 years since Libera released their debut album, Libera. Now, their 14th original album, Dream, offers a beautiful tapestry woven with different "dreams." In this album, timeless classics like Liszt's Liebestraum, Beethoven's Sonata Pathétique (Second Movement), and Dvořák's New World Symphony (Second Movement) blend seamlessly with Libera's clear, soothing harmonies, creating a listening experience that gently touches the heart. The much-discussed "Once (Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence), which captivated TV audiences, brings a new depth to Ryuichi Sakamoto's masterpiece, with Libera's original lyrics and harmonies resonating quietly and deeply within. The album also includes a special tribute to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, celebrating its 100th anniversary, featuring a memorable rendition of the lyrics by British songwriter Leslie Bricusse. Closing out the album is John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War is Over), a song carrying a powerful message for our times. Additionally, there's an exclusive collaboration between composer Takatsugu Muramatsu and Robert Prizeman, performed by Libera's new members. In a special contribution, former Libera members now active in the music world return to the album, contributing lyrics, compositions, arrangements, and even instrumental performances. The cover art is also by a former top soloist of Libera, creating a truly unique album crafted by the extended Libera family. Through Libera's harmonies, this album delivers an unparalleled experience in boy soprano sound-a profoundly rich world of dreams that words alone cannot capture. We hope it reaches your heart.
