Since her very first contact with a piano at the age of 3, Marina Baranova has won a long list of international prizes all over Europe. Her debut album ‘Marina Baranova Plays Schumann’ was enthusiastically applauded by the press, who hailed her as an “excellent interpreter of Schumann”. She is also active as a composer – her last CD Firebird, recorded together with Murat Coşkun, contains only original compositions for oriental percussion and piano.

Marina is currently working on her next CD Hypersuites. The programme will be based on the graceful music of the Baroque period providing a foundation for the brilliant improvisations and deeply personal reinterpretations which Marina specialises in. She will be touring in Fall and Winter 2015/2016 through Europe to present this new program.
