New recital programme, available for 2026/27 season:

Trilogy

Trilogy is the quintessence of my three latest albums: Elegy, A Moment Illuminating Eternity and Phœnix.
It is a journey that transcends the darkness to reach hope, light and joy. In this personal quest, it became essential for me to bring together the key pieces from these three albums into a unique emotional arc for a concert programme. Through this powerful musical narrative, I hope to offer the audience a profound and luminous experience.

“One can clearly perceive a continuity between Phœnix and her two previous albums (Elégie, 2021, and A Moment Illuminating Eternity, 2023), forming a triptych: from darkness to light. A life lesson.”
L’Echo Belgique 

“Irina Lankova pursues her own path - personal, intimate, and poetic - leading her through concert halls across the world, where her strong personality, barely veiled by her grace, shines through.
…there is a natural and genuine mastery that allows the music to dematerialise and resonate directly with the hearts…” 
La Libre Belgique 

“…one hears immediately that a true master is at work.”
Pianist Magazine Germany

“Her touch is genuinely poetic, and she works on a large tonal canvas, conjuring moods and atmospheres with compelling authority”
The Independent
