Sofja Gülbadamova – Idylle (2020) [Official Digital Download 24bit/48kHz]

The selection of the piano music to be heard on this album was made by the pianist in a very personal way. She describes it as a “dialogue with one’s own soul” and music that “in a certain way makes one particularly happy”. After the success of the CD “Hungarian Melody” released in February 2020, this is the artist’s second release on hänssler CLASSIC. Sofja Gülbadamova has won a number of competitions in Europe and North America. She collaborates with a number of conductors and orchestras and has been artistic director of the International Brahms Festival Mürzzuschlag (Austria) since 2017. She has been acclaimed in the press for the “poetic beauty” of her playing and her “striking musicality, tonal imagination, deeply relaxed pianism and astonishingly diverse palette.
