Alexandra Sostmann

“Her touch is crystal clear, almost sober, thoughtful and transparent, free of pathos, but full of poetry." This is how the BR Klassik Bavarian broadcasting company describes the playing of the pianist Alexandra Sostmann.
Her four solo albums <a href="spotify:album:77AWR0z4Zb7C0qgt4s2KWw" data-name="Bach &amp; Contemporary Music">Bach &amp; Contemporary Music</a> (2014), <a href="spotify:album:73pw0vbitTlABKpwWjx22c" data-name="J.S.
