Info for Synesthesia

Der deutsch-französische Komponist Christian Schittenhelm lud Anfang 2022 die ukrainische Pianistin Svetlana Andreeva ein, seine Klavierwerke aufzunehmen. Das Berliner Teldex Studio war schon gebucht, als der Überfall Russlands auf die Ukraine viele bis dahin geglaubte Sicherheiten infrage stellte. Und auch über dem Aufnahmeprojekt stand ein großes Fragzeichen. Letztendlich fand die Pianistin einen Weg, nach Berlin zu kommen und sich trotz des Schocks und der Sorge um ihre Familie der Musik zu widmen. Nach „Synesthesia“ mit Solowerken Schittenhelms ist bereits die Aufnahme der Klavierkonzerte „Air“ und „Wild“ mit dem Royal Scottish National Orchestra geplant.
