At first glance Maria Radutu is a successful classical pianist. Look a little closer and you will see the very profile of a unique musician who rather than buying into the commercial music industry has instead developed her brilliant technique and artistic craftmanship through well thought-out programing and unusual concepts for her concerts and CDs. All of which have taken her beyond the realm of mere vistuosity and perfection, without losing either. (Florian Willeitner)

Maria Radutu’s solo career has included a debut in the Musikverein (Vienna), performing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto; a performance of Mozart’s Concerto in A minor (KV414) with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra in the Salle Gaveau (Paris); a debut in Madrid’s Auditorio Nationale with the Orquesta Clasica Santa Cecilia with a performance of Richard Strauss’ Burleske and a tour to Asia with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and Cornelius Meister.

Insomnia is my music of sleepless nights. It includes music by Scriabin, Fauré, Sibeilius and others. Collaborators on the album were Klemens Sander, Margareta Ferek Petric, Laurenz Sartena, Christoph Cech, Clemens Salesny, Georg Burdicek, Alex Gelehrter, and Catalin Orezeanu.
