Petits Contes-Berceuses

A Poetic and Beautiful Musical Tale to Listen to Before Sleep

Miho Suda, long drawn to “things that vanish” since childhood, weaves poetic and beautiful stories through sound. This collection, featuring rarely recorded works by Maikapar, was chosen with the gentle hope that children might drift off peacefully to sleep — a quiet joy for listeners of all ages.
