Isata, who appeared on the cover of Pianist 110, is joined by the Royal Liverpool
Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom she previously recorded Clara Schumann’s
Piano Concerto for her 2019 album, 'Romance' on Decca.
Isata comments, "It was in childhood where my love of classical music first
blossomed. The pieces in this album carry with them a certain nostalgia, and I
feel almost a sense of longing for childhood in some of them. That wistfulness
for childhood is something that I wanted to express, as I think it’s a time when
one’s love of music is at its most uncomplicated."
On 3 May Isata will perform Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Song with
the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Antony Hermus at Cadogan Hall.
