Following her first prize win at the 2015 Leeds International Piano Competition, Russian-born Anna Tsybuleva releases her debut solo recording with Champs Hill Records as part of her prize. The album showcases four fantasy-themed works by CPE bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. Tsybuleva says of her passion for fantasies: ”Ever since my childhood I have loved to fantasise, the absence of borders in our dreams has always appealed to me. In our mind’s eye, we can cover the whole world in the snap of a finger. I think everyone regardless of age or profession, can at least once in a lifetime imagine themselves philosophers, able to find answers to life’s most difficult questions.” Anna Tsybuleva began studying the piano at the age of six with her mother, Svetlena Tsybuleva, later continuing her studies at the Moscow Conservatory with Ludmila Roschina and the Basel Music Academy with Claudio Martinez.
