After Songs of Solitude (BIS 2553 a project designed by Hiyoli Togawa at a time when Covid forced people across the world into isolation (released in March 2021 the Japanese Australian violist now presents another themed album focusing on the situation of children During the pandemic, she kept thinking of the many children who do not have a loving home and were forced to stay at home, and so were exposed helplessly to violence, hunger and poverty As with her previous disc, she commissioned works on the theme of childhood from composers around the world Thirteen of them, from Europe, Asia, North America and Australia, answered the call and embarked on a journey into childhood The result is a collection of lullabies, childhood memories and adventures Playful, wild, silent, funny, serious or dreamy, these works are musical pleas for the rights of children around the world Hiyoli Togawa combines them with the Allemandes from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Suites for solo cello Each of these Allemandes presents a new character, opening a very special dance universe They invite us to surrender ourselves to the genuine and undisguised joy of playing and perhaps, almost, to lose ourselves in it to find ourselves.
