The HOUSE of DREAMS © 2024

Winners of numerous international awards, two-time Latin Grammy winners Alex Sino & Taras Kutsenko present a new music album featuring Zhangjiajie Philharmonic Orchestra.
Featuring Soundrama musicians.

On the way through the picturesque places the Girl met a wise Cat who taught her to be brave and showed her where Joy lives.

“The House of Dreams” is an album of 10 classical compositions for children based on the story written by Alex Sino and Taras Kutsenko. It is a story about a little girl who obtained a lifetime friend through imagination and bravery and learned that where joy and friendship exist, there is no place for sadness. Classical music has infinite variety, and when children are trained to appreciate its subtleties and nuances, it widens their perspective on life and kindness. Listening to classical music at an early age can lead to a lifetime of appreciation of joy, kindness, and brotherhood.

Girl & Cat

Written by Alex Sino & Taras Kutsenko

Once upon a time, there was a girl. You will ask how old she was, and I will answer: "It doesn't matter at all”.
 And like many girls, she loved cats. However the girl had a bit of bad luck… but... if there were no such bad luck, there would be no such fairy tale... When the Girl touched a cat, tears began to flow from her beautiful eyes, her soft hands became red and itchy, and the best healers could not deal with it.

And like many girls, she loved cats. However the girl had a bit of bad luck… but... if there were no such bad luck, there would be no such fairy tale... When the Girl touched a cat, tears began to flow from her beautiful eyes, her soft hands became red and itchy, and the best healers could not deal with it.

Doctors prohibited the Girl from touching cats and dogs too... Sometimes she became so sad that she cried... That evening, going to bed, the girl thought: "How nice it would be now to stroke the soft fur of a cat... And then the cat would curl up at my feet and sleep with me...". And slowly the girl fell asleep...

And like many girls, she loved cats. However the girl had a bit of bad luck… but... if there were no such bad luck, the...Suddenly the girl was tickled, as if someone gently touched her little ear with a feather... She opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw... a fluffy cat looking like a cloud, who looked at her and smiled... The girl was joyful at first, but then she was scared because now her face would be swelled as if bees had bitten her.
- Don't be afraid of me, girl! I'm not like all the other cats. See how fluffy and nice I am... I am your cat. You'll be fine with me! And the girl immediately believed him. In a minute she completely forgot about her trouble and played cheerfully with the cat. At some point, the girl climbed the stairs to the second floor and decided to jump down as her new friend did.

The valiant Cat saw this and hurried to stop the Girl - Wait, don't jump. After all, you are not a cat and you don't have paws and a tail like me. In a flash, the Cat got two cushions and a feather bed from the sofa and put them at the bottom of the stairs. - Now everything is ready, and you can jump - said the Cat swinging his tail.
Suddenly the Girl stopped and said: - What if I fail?
The wise Cat smiled and said: - Jump. Don't be afraid. And the Girl flew and landed right on the pillow with the feather bed. - That's great, I want more! - shouted the Girl - That's great, do it again! - supported her Cat.
 They had a lot of fun! They were carefree fiddling, running around the house. The girl held the Cat in her arms and bravely kept her face in his fluffy fur... And when they were tired, they fell asleep. The girl lay in her crib, putting her hands under her cheek, and next to her, curled up, lay her new best friend, Mister wise Cat.

The next morning when sunlight woke her up, the girl opened her eyes. The cat was not there, but she knew that he would always be there now. And even though no one had seen the Cat, everyone at home believed the Girl. Now she smiled more often and was not as sad as she was before. And the family loved the girl's Cat. After all, the Cat gave her joy! They joined the Girl in playing with him, put him in a saucer with milk, and called him by name. The Girl now cherishes a Friend who would never betray and would not go anywhere! He helped her to deal with bad luck, taught her to be brave and gave her Joy!
Now the Girl knew: "Joy is always with me because it lives in my heart!" And when she was a little sad, she would call her Cat, who would immediately rush to her on his soft little paws, climb on her lap, and purred affectionately, and sadness flew away immediately...

Because where the Joy exists, there is no place for sadness...
