“Complex and rich, full of images and experiences, like an exciting journey — if not like life itself — SOLO is the new album by pianist Tania Giannouli. I've listened to this recording four or five times, and the impression is of passing through the same spaces but each time from a new perspective.

Those who have followed Tania's music will know that she is a creative musician with a strong compositional and improvisational expressiveness that, for me personally, offers a fascinating journey of the mind and imagination, where all of my senses are awake and on the move.

Through these twenty-four pieces, Tania presents an almost complete piano history; classical, contemporary, jazz, improvisational, traditional cultural influences, etc., all within a perfect structure of dynamic plot and form, narratives distinguished by an astonishing sense of unity. Seventy minutes flow like water from a spring you'll surely want to drink again and again.
