Eight new releases from me came out in 2024. You can find the full list on the "Publications" page and stream all of them on various digital platforms. Featured here are the covers of the piano solo releases:

• Scriabin's Etude Op. 8 No. 12

• Chopin's Complete Nocturnes (which received a 5-star review in the American music magazine Fanfare; check out the video produced by the label, Halidon Music)

• Chopin's newly discovered Waltz in A minor, available in two versions: one on a modern Fazioli (here’s the Spotify link), and the other, a world premiere recording on period piano (a Pleyel from my collection, see an article on this here)

• Mompou's Canción No. 6

• Lastly, a bold, innovative work dedicated to Mozart, which also received a 5-star review in the Luxembourg music magazine Pizzicato.

​

And the new year kicks off with excitement! Both the first and the second EPs from my upcoming Chopin album, The Complete Waltzes, were featured on Spotify’s "Classical New Releases" playlist. The album will be accompanied by various singles, including one dedicated to Chopin’s delightful divertissement, Galop Marquis, and another one featuring the Cantabile in B-flat major.

But talking of something just a little bit more important, I draw your attention to other things:

​​

- let's support together every call and intiative for peace, like this important campaign by Emergency: Article 11, Italy repudiates war;

​

- as for the ongoing bloodshed in Ukraine, the proceeds from the streams and sales of one of my albums, dedicated to music of the living Ukrainian composer Silvestrov and the Russian composer Rachmaninov, have been and will continue to be entirely donated to an activist who helps refugees from all wars. In my own small way.

​
