During the different lockdowns consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was one of the many artists that, faced with the lack of live performances, turned to recording themselves. To me, that was one of the few positive aspects of this situation - having the time to be locked in a room with a piano and the chance to explore new repertoire while at the same time learning how to record myself.
This collection is just a selection of recordings I made during that period, of which I am quite proud how they turned out. They were all one take performances and are exactly as they happened in the hall where I played them.
All proceeds from the sales of this album will be donated to Orphans Feeding Foundation (

My gratitude goes to Angélica, Kasia, Julia, Margareta, and Hilda for their music and generosity. Thanks must also be extended to Wiola Zochowska for her help fleshing out this recording, Daria Filippova for the beautiful artwork we used on the cover, Sergio Karakenio for the layout, Stefan Panfili and Horacio Reyes Páez for helping capture video of these performances, the team at the Theatermuseum Wien for allowing us to use the Eroica Saal, and Ola Sonmark and Rafael Ferreira for their sonic expertise.
