From press:
""Borrowed Landscape" beautifully tells stories about strong instruments like a Hiroshima piano, a double bass from Poland, and a surviving Stradivarius in Budapest. The tales weave together our connection to music, history, and how fragile life can be. Akiko's story reminds us how we're all connected, urging us to build a peaceful world. The mix of German and Japanese creators makes the project truly global. Unlike usual music plays, "Borrowed Landscape" focuses on how stories and music go hand in hand. Scriptwriters Tauchgold and composer Dai Fujikura create a special show where historic instruments become vessels for amazing stories, blending seamlessly with the emotional power of music."

It can be performed as a solo cello piece at a concert. Any single movement can be played separately and in any order.

From press:
"Celebrated, loved, gone. As artists, they conquered the stages of the world in the 1920s, celebrated wild parties at the Palais Mendelssohn in Berlin-Grunewald and had affairs with the icons of the time - of all genders. Today, hardly anyone knows Eleonora and Francesco von Mendelssohn" (by tauchgold)"
