Dear and Beloved!
Today I present a CD collecting songs performed over the years, which you have accompanied with such enthusiasm. Throughout these years, I have felt the love and magical connection between the stage and the audience. And this has given me strength. My gratitude is immense, and I believe that these recordings will become our shared journey through the twists and turns of memory and emotion. Thank you.
