いよいよ本番。
蘭子さんの海外のお友達からメッセージが届きました！
---------------------------------
Ich
habe Ranko in Deutschland kennengelernt.
Sie
war besessen davon Wagner und Strauss zu singen.
Sie
hat sehr hart dafür gearbeitet, mit dem Ergebnis, das aus Ihr eine wundervolle Wagner
und Strauss Sängerin geworden ist. Mit einer wundervollen dramatischen Stimme.
Neben
all der Kunst, ist Sie mir privat ein wahrer Freund geworden, durch Ihre
Warmherzigkeit und selbstlose Hilfsbereitschaft anderen gegenüber.
Ich
wünsche Ranko viel Erfolg bei Ihrem Konzert.
Alles
Liebe

---------------------------------
I first met Ranko Kurano while she was collecting data for her Master’s
degree in the early 1990s. I was working as a music lecturer at ITM (now UiTM)
in Shah Alam, and had invited Ranko to give a recital. Even then, it was
already evident that Ranko was a committed and a outstanding singer combined
with a thoughtful and wonderful personality to match.
Since then, Ranko went on to pursue her studies in Italy, Germany and
France, and to embark on a successful and impressive singing career in Europe
and Japan. Ranko Kurano was appointed artist-in-residence at Universiti Sains
Malaysia’s School of the Arts in 2009 and in 2010. The music students
here found her to be a dedicated and responsible teacher who untiringly and
patiently taught them the art of singing.
I have also worked closely with Ranko Kurano who has also been
instrumental in propagating my vocal as well as operatic music. Her willingness
not only to delve into unfamiliar territory but also to do so well marks her as
an exceptional singer. Ranko Kurano has all the ingredients of an established
soprano for she is determined, meticulous and constantly strives for musical
perfection. Her recitals and concerts in Malaysia always draw accolades from
the public.
