The idea of this album „Poetic Whispers“ appeared 2 years ago but I have composed some pieces since about 10 years. „Poetic Whispers“ is one of them.

I came from Belarus to Germany in 2001.
Homesickness, nostalgia, sadness but also hope for a better life.
The melancholic feelings of my first years abroad have never left me.
Where there is light, there is always shade.
These changes of mood reflect my new album „Poetic Whispers“.

Astor Piazzolla matches this image quite well. The music of the Argentinian master celebrates exactly the tension between despair and vitality. I admire his music a lot.

Freedom is an important issue for me, also by making music.
Improvisation is its best expression.

The album combines my compositions with those by classical composers like Erik Satie or Gabriel Fauré. I feel a close connection with Igor Stravinsky. I think he was at home everywhere and at the same time everywhere a stranger.

I always carry music, melodies in me. My own compositions often arise spontaneously. I composed „Autumn Song“ a week before the recording. I believe this song made the album complete.
To write and play music is my elixir of life.
