{"product_id":"note-to-a-friend-713746321628","title":"note to a friend","description":"Commissioned by the Japan Society in New York and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan center in Japan, David Lang's note to a friend is inspired by the famous letter written by short story author Ryunosuke Akutagawa to a fellow writer, announcing his intention to take his own life. Conceived as a chamber opera for solo vocalist and string quartet, the work is also the perfect vehicle for singer Theo Blackmann, who brings a profound emotional weight to his performance, in collaboration with the inimitable Attacca string quartet.  Content warning: This recording contains references to suicide and depression, which some listeners may find distressing. If you need suicide- or mental health-related crisis support, or are worried about someone else, please call or text 988 or visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's chat to connect with a trained crisis counselor.","brand":"Cantaloupe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46366954913875,"sku":"2776780X","price":19.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4484275.jpg?v=1790231958","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/note-to-a-friend-713746321628","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
