Having worked with the Berliner Philharmoniker, the Deutsche Oper and MusicAeterna, Sissi Makropoulou has established a reputation among the most talented harpists of her generation, as well as a composer working under the name Sissi Radu. On this, her debut solo album, she brings both talents together. As she explains in her engaging booklet notes, she has been familiar with The Seasons since childhood. They count among the composer's most intimate works, as well as his most popular. 'I hear tenderness, benevolence and loneliness - the core of romantic love - in each and every note.' It is the harp that lends a unique color to some of Tchaikovsky's most memorable passages such as the cadenzas in Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. In some cases - January, for example - Sissi Makropoulou has transposed the pieces to sit more easily on the harp and to exploit it's sumptuous palette of enharmonics. And while the Shrovetide Fair of February presents considerable challenges to the harpist in terms of quicksilver articulation and lightning-fast chord changes, the results speak for themselves in terms of a happy marriage between music and instrument. March, for example, could have been written with the harp in mind. As an encore, Sissi Makropoulou plays her own arrangement of the second movement from Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. The gentle mood of this Andantino 'in the style of a song' transfers itself sympathetically to the harp in her hands, and is informed by her experience of playing the composer's music under one of it's most inspirational modern conductors, Teodor Currentzis.
