Celebrated piano soloist MARTA engages without restraint on PARADISE LOST from Navona Records. Where previous releases included MARTA’s compositions alongside works from the classical canon, this album belongs entirely to her own voice. These melodies are a product of war, loss, and personal endurance, born from haunting memories, traumatic youth experiences, stories of victory, and hopes for a better tomorrow. Titles including Memento Mori, War, Wild River, Košava, and Praskozorje evoke themes of mortality, conflict, and the landscapes of her Serbian homeland, while Victory and the Global Music Award-winning Slava gesture toward resolution. Known as the Black Swan of Piano, MARTA brings the same dark, emotive intensity that has defined her Navona Records catalog to this all-original program.
