Bittersweet

bittersweet - Sophie Pacini's own collection of encouraging masterpieces that feels like a gentle embrace in the midst of crises and challenges. In a world often dominated by uncertainty and stress, the music on this album offers a powerful solace - a reminder that beauty, pain and hope are mysteriously intertwined.Inspired by an intimate, moving concert in a women's shelter in Munich, the ECHOKlassik Award winner was passionate about giving hope and light to many otherpeople in dark hours with a compilation of her personal heartfelt pieces.

It is probably the most personal album project to date by the Munich-born artist, who -unintentionally dubbed a “wunderkind” - had to fight against discrimination, exclusion and resentment from an early age and always drew all her strength from her music. Each piece on “bittersweet” is a little encouragement, a reminder that even in themost bittersweet moments of life, the beauty of music can lead to new strength.Sophie Pacini's interpretation, between virtuosity and sensitivity, opens doors to aworld that provides encouragement in difficult times - and shows that true strengthlies especially in fragility.
