About

"Recordings usually start to live their own lives after their release. However, this one happened to be very special since it acquired its very meaning long before getting to the publishing phase. Recorded in September 2021, this project survived February 24, 2022 - the date marking for me the end of a fragile balance between humanity and medieval darkness. This recording is dedicated to the people of a free and independent Ukraine, whose unshakable spirit will never be defeated." Vadym Kholodenko

Gramophone Magazine

January 2023

Editor's Choice

Christmas Issue 2022

The barnstorming theme is set out with pointed determination, only to immediately fall away in a shadow of itself. Kholodenko’s carefully contoured opener is followed by five variations that set out the intricacies of the music, which is further dissected and reimagined in five further cycles.

January 2023

This is far and away the best recording that Vadym Kholodenko has made, and the superb engineering does his committed artistry full justice.
