After recording successful ECM productions such as "Unloved" and "Three Crowns" with the Maciej Obara Quartet, Dominik Wania released his solo album in Lugano in November 2019. Shaped by his classical training, Wania possesses a particular sensitivity to sound, structure, and touch. At the Auditorio Stelio Molo Studio in Lugano, he, as a superb improviser, focuses entirely on the subtle musical details that unfold in the moment. Through the interplay of classical influences and improvisational freedom, Wania is among the most distinctive pianists of his generation. "Lonely Shadows" not only demonstrates his creative individuality but also expands ECM's acclaimed series of solo piano albums. The album was produced by Manfred Eicher.
