Discography of Irina Kulikova

“Few can tell us something so special as she does through her unique and personal playing”

Carlo Marchione
guitarist & professor

Seven albums featuring original works for the classical guitar and transcriptions of music that has become part of the guitar repertoire. From Bach and Chopin to Barrios, Tárrega and contemporary composers, familiar masterpieces are combined with lesser-known works that many listeners have come to love.

The recordings range from the nineteenth-century guitar tradition of Legnani, Sor and Mertz to twentieth-century works by Ponce, Tansman, Brouwer, Antonio José and Rodrigo. Other albums explore Russian repertoire, contemporary music, and several world première recordings by composers including Konstantin Vassiliev’s poetic Swan Princess dedicated to Irina Kulikova.

Five albums were produced in collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Norbert Kraft. A Christmas album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.
