The Conductor

SOLD OUT

森に足を踏み入れた交響楽団の指揮者。
指揮棒を振ると、木々の葉っぱが魔法にかかったように空に浮かび上がり、鳥のように舞います。
指揮者の指揮棒の動きに合わせて、時にはげしく、時に穏やかに、葉っぱは舞っていきます。
言葉のないこの絵本は、指揮者と葉っぱの舞だけ。
ページをめくるたびに、音楽が展開していくようです。
美しい絵本です。

"The Conductor" is a striking and award-winning illustrated volume, originally published in French, that tells the story (without words) of a symphony conductor who ventures into the forest and conducts a musical movement of trees that magically become birds in flight. Eloquently written and beautifully illustrated, readers are drawn to its pages spread after spread. As this charming tale unfolds, the reader explores colour, perspective and motion throughout an amazing musical transformation; readers can almost hear the score swelling off the pages...This picture book is hard to classify, but ultimately its distinctive vertical trim size and enchanting story line will draw in art and music lovers alike.
