Discography
Bachiana - a solo cello fantasy
Ana Topalovic is a visual synaesthetist. For her, music has colours and shapes. This phenomenon opens up for Ana a new dimension of sound perception with which she searches for hidden interfaces. For this album Ana has selected five works by contemporary composers, which for her form a complementary synaesthetic relationship to the individual movements of Bach's Suite No. 1. Many years of close cooperations between Ana Topalovic, Doina Rotaru, Johanna Doderer and Gabriele Proy, as well as an extensive experience with Kaija Saariaho’s music, helped with forming a very deep and intimate interpretation of their music.
Ana’s breathtaking musical performance of the Suite Nr. 1 by Johann Sebastian Bach leads the listener like a red thread and a friendly tour guide through a fantastical, playful, virtuosic and sensual world of Modern Music. Her interpretation inhabits a unique, extraordinary world of its own and satisfies our need to connect the Unknown with the Known. The familiar sound of the cello is illuminated in unexpected ways, hidden depths are revealed and its best qualities are brought out.
Each contemporary piece is accompanied by Ana‘s own illustrations of her synaesthetic visions.
