Anja Lechner

With her warm tone and exceptional expressiveness, cellist Anja Lechner unites three worlds: the introspective suites of Bach, the melancholic fantasies of Abel, and the poetic miniatures of Hume. “One of the most gifted cellists in the world,” according to Strings Magazine, who with rare clarity connects the lines between composers, centuries, and styles. Known for her ECM recordings with, among others, Dino Saluzzi, Vassilis Tsabropoulos, and Pablo Márquez, Lechner here once again shows how tradition, improvisation, and personal imagination together form a new musical landscape. Music as an inner journey, clear and inspired even in silence.
