Theatralica is not classical, jazz, rock, ethno or electronic music. And yet it's all of this - a mixture of all these genres. Exclusively instruments from the set of a symphony orchestra were used in composing and production of the songs. Sounds of the "classical" instruments appear in the primordial sound shape especially in the harmonies and melodies. In modified form - with the use of filters and effects - "classical" instruments appear as a rhythmic accompaniment. Musical themes are flowing through a kaleidoscope of moods. As a whole they can be understood as a "soundtrack" from a not yet recorded movie or theatrical performance.
Theatralica is classical music, caught in a pop form, under the baton of the virtual conductor, with the approach of the composer, who has in the past mainly dealt with the production of electronic music.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Suites and Fantasias is Ms Kim's virtuosic presentation of some of Bach's most challenging, rare and beautiful works for keyboard. The collection begins with the thrilling Prelude, Fugue and Allegro in E flat and then presents the beautiful unfinished Suite in F minor BWV 823, which exists only as a fragment. Throughout the remainder of the recording Ms Kim presents a feast for early keyboard enthusiasts, performed on a superb German instrument by John Philips after an instrument built in Dresden in 1739 by Johann Heinrich Gräbner; an instrument with which Bach is likely to have been familiar.
The recording was completed at Skywalker Sound, insuring the highest sound quality possible. This collection therefore brings together rare and beautiful compositions by Bach, superior sound quality, a gorgeous and authentic period instrument, and the skills and talents of a remarkable artist.
