New recital programme, available for 2026/27 season:

Trilogy

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

In this original programme, a series of short, intensely inspired works by three composers — Chopin, Scriabin and Rachmaninov — respond to one another, weaving a unique dialogue. Performed without interruption, the pieces are organised into three sets of 20 to 25 minutes, connected by engaging listening insights shared by the pianist.

“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
