‘Credo‘ with Alexander Boldachev is due for release in September 2025 on PENTATONE digitally and physically on CD. An LP version will be released in November.
With Credo, harp virtuoso Alexander Boldachev makes his PENTATONE debut with visionary transcriptions of Bach and Pärt, bridging 250 years of sacred sound. Recorded in a Swiss mountain chapel, this intimate and transcendent album transforms the harp into a powerful voice of clarity, reflection, and spiritual connection.
Alexander Boldachev is an internationally acclaimed award-winning harpist, working in the genres of classical music and crossover-pop, improviser, arranger, and composer for film and theatre. Boldachev reveals the harp’s full expressive power, transforming it from a traditionally ornamental instrument into a profound voice of clarity, intimacy, and resonance.
Recorded in the serene mountain chapel of Aiglon College in Switzerland, Credo is both sanctuary and statement. A deeply personal musical journey, the album invites the listener into a space of stillness and reflection – a soundtrack for meditation, meaningful work, or simply being. With Credo, Boldachev does not just interpret these masterpieces – he inhabits them, illuminating the divine thread that unites two composers and two souls across centuries.
“Every time I fly, I listen to the music of J.S. Bach and Arvo Pärt. It helps me to get into the state of flow, to break through the thoughts and stressful problems, which are overwhelming my brain, and just enjoy the time tête-à-tête with the music. Slowly, this music started to sound in my head, but on the strings of my instrument. To create this album was just a matter of time.”
