about

Emily Dickinson’s works, like her life, are for me the mystery that makes you think about the nature of talent, about its miraculous, extraterrestrial origin.

It is hard to believe that a modest girl, who had spent most of her life as a hermit, could write so many fantastic poems - subtle, philosophical, frighteningly deep, and still relevant. It is said that few people knew that Emily was writing - about a dozen works were published during her life. Only after her death about a thousand eight hundred poems were discovered in her room.

My acquaintance with the work of the poetess was purely coincidental - I came across her poem when I was looking for lyrics for a melody that was annoyingly scrolling through my head day after day. I was amazed both by the text itself and by how well it fit the music. What a distinctive language, punctuation, what metaphors and whimsically built phrases! Knowing English not so well, I still experienced a certain thrill and immediately felt something very unusual, but at the same time absolutely familiar and surprisingly understandable in these lines. I began to dig further discovering better and better, more interesting and even more interesting things! Gradually the idea of a whole album of music based upon these texts matured. Some poems became songs’ lyrics, others were read and improvised at the studio.

I really hope that this album will not only please the listener, but will also interest him or her to go on an independent journey of the great and mysterious creativity of Emily Dickinson, who, it seems, came to us from distant worlds.

J.S. Bach: "Open" Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (Piano)
by Kimiko Ishizaka

supported by 5 fans who also own “Songs for Emily Dickinson”

There are many J.S. Bach pieces I've heard and enjoyed throughout my life, but it was especially Glenn Gould and his box set who made me fall in love and inspired me to take a deep dive and explore Bach's catalogue a few years ago. Then my music focus shifted for a while, but this interpretation just reignited my obsession again. I love this project, the included booklet and score as well! I'm late to join, but look forward to listening to the other and any future releases :) Gerrit
