Praised for her elegant execution, beautiful tone and remarkable virtuosity, pianist Lydia Maria Bader has been described as “one of the leading pianists of Germany” (Neue Musikzeitung). Audiences and the press alike admire her charming moderation and thematically-conceived programs, which often venture into lesser-known territories of the piano literature and reflect a deep fascination with colorful cultures. After the acclaimed release of the 2014 album “Music of the North,” which featured works from Scandinavia and the Baltic countries, her current focus is on Chinese piano with her newest album "Chinese Dreams" (June 2020 by ARS Produktion).
