Gold Medal Winner - Global Music Award 2020 for 3 part anthology. BREATHING IN/BREATHING OUT: A Little Anthology of Piano Music (1914–2014) is a series of three compact discs and an accompanying book (207 pages) initiated by acclaimed Serbian pianist Nada Kolundžija and edited by musicologist Ivana Miladinović Prica. It is a collection of 37 piano pieces written by 25 composers. This is a kind of topography of various musical idioms which emerged and branched out starting from the early 20th-century avant-garde composers, until the present day and its more-or-less faithful “heirs” both in the West and the East. The variety of genre range from avant-garde and experimental music through minimalism and post-minimalism; from mysticism to jazz and film music; Аrvo Pärt, Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass, Scott Pender, Lola Perrin, David Lang, Toby Тwining, Jacob Ter Veldhuis, Galen H. Brown, Yannis Kyriakides,
Vuk Kulenović, William Duckworth, Anton Batagov, Katarina Miljković, Ivana Stefanović, Milos Raičković, Miroslav Savić, Dušan Bogdanović, Miodrag Lazarov Pashu, Meredith Моnk, Gurdjieff/de Hartman, Jasna Veličković, Conlon Nancarrow, John Cage and Eric Satie. This is a very special anthology which reveals the multiple identities of music for the piano, different “characters” of this instrument, its “extensions” beyond the limits of traditional instrumentation. The acoustic soundscape encounters piano, prepared piano, toy piano, music box, soundtracks, electronics and two pianos tuned a quarter-tone apart.

Nada Kolundžija has dedicated several years to the creation of this little anthology. The three-part concert cycle called My Little Concert Anthology of Piano Music that Nada Kolundžija performed at Belgrade Cultural Centre during the summer 2014 gave the initial impetus for publishing this collection. As an imprint of her specific pianistic approach, the Anthology BREATHING IN/BREATHING OUT sums up the energy of her rich experience in the field of investigation and interpretation of contemporary music. Over the last four decades, Nada Kolundžija has been captivating audiences with her performances, solo and multimedia projects. Her soloist recitals are distinguished by imaginative programmes and highly praised interpretations. Kolundžija premiered a vast number of compositions by Serbian and foreign composers. She has given over 1000 concerts in 28 European countries and all over the world (USA, Canada, Mexico, China, India, Tailand). She has won a number of awards and recognitions, among them Lifetime Achievements Award by the Association of the Music Artists of Serbia (2016).

This double album demonstrates in its one-and-a-half hours the genius of contemporary classical composer Sergey Akhunov from Kiev in the realm of instrumental chamber music, which can basically be described as expressionist with a high degree of traditional tonality. The seven works presented here, some of them divided into a couple of movements, are written for several kinds of chamber ensembles, ranging in size from duo to string orchestra with soloists, and are performed with abounding virtuosity by various excellent musicians.

Baroque theme-and-variation pieces -- but neither dry nor repetitive. Batagov makes them sing, with lines both flowing and precise. Give them a couple of hearings, and they'll engage your emotions like -- do I risk heresy here? -- the Goldberg Variations. (And if those don't engage your emotions, you haven't been paying attention!) Bob Spector
