“Alda Dizdari is a phenomenon […] She is, as the greatest musicians are, a perfect servant of the music: she interposes no mannerisms or intellectualisms, allowing the musical work to speak for itself in every phrase.”
“Such vivid, imaginative, brilliant playing is rare indeed [...]. The expressiveness of her bowing was a thing of wonder.”
New Release:
“Alda Dizdari, the soloist on this new recording, conveys well the repeated to-and-fro between songlike inwardness and rhythmic propulsion, and the need for each point of arrival to feel in some way provisional, ready to move on again or to evaporate back into the heights.” – Gramophone,UK
“It’s a wonderful performance of a fine piece, which deserves to be played more often. She weaves clear narrative lines though the four movements of the Solo Sonata, variously quixotic, sinuous, questioning, and dipping in and out of double-stops. It’s virtuoso stuff, played with grace and flair.” – Recommended album of the month – The Strad
This is Alda’s most intimate and reflective album inspired by personal events but also reflecting the mood of the nation. The album is a combination of beautiful short tracks for solo violin and violin and harp, offering a perfect opportunity for quiet contemplation. This album will touch and inspire with its honesty and carful selection of every individual piece sharing a message of peace and love in troubled times. It would be a perfect Christmas present to a loved one.
