With Credo, harp virtuoso Alexander Boldachev makes his debut on PENTATONE, offering a transcendent exploration of Johann Sebastian Bach and Arvo Pärt. Through eight visionary transcriptions for solo harp, Credo bridges 250 years of sacred sound – from Bach’s measured maximalisms to Pärt’s contemplative minimalism. Boldachev reveals the harp’s full expressive power, transforming it from a traditionally ornamental instrument into a profound voice of clarity, intimacy, and resonance.
Recorded in the serene mountain chapel of Aiglon College in Switzerland, Credo is both sanctuary and statement. A deeply personal musical journey, the album invites the listener into a space of stillness and reflection – a soundtrack for meditation, meaningful work, or simply being. With Credo, Boldachev does not just interpret these masterpieces – he inhabits them, illuminating the divine thread that unites two composers and two souls across centuries.
Alexander Boldachev is a classical-crossover virtuoso harpist, composer, initiator of World Harp Day in Hong Kong, founder of Zurich Harp Festival, visiting professor of Royal Academy of Music and Milano Conservatory. In 30 years “on stage,” he performed in Carnegie Hall, teamed up with Robbie Williams for FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony, and visited hundreds of festivals from Burning Man in the USA to iconic Verbier Festival in Switzerland.
