Award-winning guitarist Liat Cohen, recognized as one of the world's premier classical musicians, devotes her latest album to the reinvention of the waltz. This captivating musical journey seamlessly bridges Latin America and Europe, connecting diverse cultures, eras, and aesthetics through works ranging from Astor Piazzolla and Heitor Villa-Lobos to contemporary compositions. Blending fiery rhythms, intense lyricism, and modern sensibilities, the program showcases contrasting musical worlds. Cohen’s exceptional virtuosity and rich sonority effectively transform the classical guitar into a true miniature orchestra, offering an intimate yet grand listening experience that appeals equally to classical purists and broader audiences alike.

Acclaimed as the "Princess of Classical Guitar," Liat Cohen is a pioneering virtuoso celebrated for reviving the classical guitar in contemporary creation. A graduate of the Paris Conservatory and Schola Cantorum, she was the first guitarist to receive the prestigious Nadia Boulanger Prize. Cohen has performed globally on premier stages—including the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Prague's Rudolphinum—collaborating with major orchestras and conductors. Her extensive, chart-topping discography with labels like Warner Classics includes Latino-Ladino, Virtuosi, and the highly successful crossover albums Rio-Paris and Madrid-Paris, featuring collaborations with opera stars such as Natalie Dessay and Rolando Villazón.
