About
SOMM Recordings is delighted to announce the new solo piano album War Poems by phenomenal Ukrainian pianist Maria Narodytska.
With this, her debut album on SOMM Recordings, she makes a bold and impassioned, yet inclusive artistic statement, using solo piano works of various historical periods, writtne in the midst of conflict (our own included), to ask listeners to reflect on the ravages of war and safeguard the flickering flame of hope in peace. As the vastly talented composer of a work on this recital, Narodytska writes as a Ukrainian, but performs her programme as a member of the artistic community and a world citizen.

November 2024
She paces [the Chopin Polonaises] judiciously – with swagger but never too much speed – and in a way that bears out Rubinstein’s summary of this Op. 40 pair: the A major work representing Poland’s glory and the C minor work its tragedy.
October 2024
Narodytska proves herself a compelling interpreter and gifted composer…In all, a strong, substantial, thoughtfully sequenced and well-engineered release, well worth investigating.
