For Anastassiya Dranchuk's debut album 'Rites de Passage', the choice of pieces by Tchaikovsky, Say, Schubert and Liszt was no coincidence. The pieces had and have special emotional significance in Anastasiya's life. For her, the individual compositions represent rites of passage (rites de passage, a concept from ethnology): they tell of the transition from childhood to adulthood, peace to war, birth to death … In general, it is an emotionally and tonally very colourful, technically demanding programme that deals with the most diverse dualities.
