Misha Kalinin & Roksana Smirnova - Silent Dialogues (2026)

The album "Silent Dialogues" by pianist Roksana Smirnova and guitarist Misha Kalinin, released by Global Sonics, features contemporary classical music with improvisational elements. Recorded at the Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia, the release includes the Laulasmaa String Quartet on its final three tracks. Conceptually, the album metaphorically traces the cyclical life journey of the human soul—from birth to maturity, overcoming challenges, and ultimately achieving wisdom, peace, and acceptance through memories. The sonic character of the release is defined by an intimate chamber setting, spacious forms, and luminous textures driven by the close interplay between electric guitar and piano.
