The latest release, “Cosmic Calendar,” by Ukrainian pianist and composer Marina Baranova, highlights her versatile musical prowess. Raised in a household where classical music was taught by her mother and jazz & composition by her father, Baranova was exposed to contrasting musical worlds from an early age, cultivating her skills in improvisation. A highly gifted pianist, she honed her craft in her hometown of Kharkiv (Ukraine) and later at the University of Hanover (Germany), playing with a natural ease. Baranova possesses a synesthetic talent, allowing her to perceive sounds as colors, adding a unique dimension to her music.

Pianist Marina Baranova looks at Christmas through the eyes of an outsider. “I was born into a Jewish family in Ukraine and am the great-granddaughter of a rabbi. So I’ve never celebrated Christmas before, which allows me to look at it from the outside.“ On her new album “White Letters“ she makes her experiences audible. “This album reflects those sensations.” In her unique musicality, which combines light-fingered virtuosity with compositional sensitivity, she creates a world between Christian melodies, Ukrainian winter tunes and Jewish festival of lights sounds. All works oscillate between original, sensitive arrangement and free improvisation. The musician feels home in the space between the classical piano repertoire and her own modern classical compositions, both discographically and in concerts. The fact that she now allows such a personal musical look at her origins is also due to the current situation. “I return inwardly to my then peaceful home, the landscape outside covered with snow and inside warmed with parental love.“

Marina Baranova knows a thing or two about conjuring fantastical worlds. Since her childhood when she’d sit with her fairy tale books open in front of the piano translating the pictures she saw into sound worlds up to her last album, where she envisioned a darker side to Debussy, the Ukrainian composer and pianist’s imagination has always played an active role in the music she plays. For her latest release, ‘Atlas of Imaginary Places’, she lets it run the show. For it, Baranova worked with the Danish visual artist Christian Gundtoft and Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Kompaniets to conceive more than just an album. “I wanted to create this alternative listening experience,” she explains, “Don’t underestimate the power of imagination, now more than ever, it’s important to remember we have this treasure within us.”
