Info for Dreamscape

Peace, silence, meditation, dreams, reflections, memories…

"And love. That is how one could describe my album DREAMSCAPE. It is dedicated to piano music by female composers of the 21st century. These are women from all over the world whose creative paths have crossed with mine. I have chosen these pieces based on one principle – they resonate with my inner world." (Dzintra Erliha)

The album includes several premieres written by the composers specially for this album: “Gentle WillPower” by Esin Aydingoz, “Loss for Solo Piano” by Leanna Primiani, and “Vignettes from the Park” by Lolita Ritmanis.

DREAMSCAPE is the second album after SERENA that I have dedicated to piano music by 21st-century female composers.
