Swiss pianist Christoph Stiefel presents ‘To The Source,’ a solo album that transcends traditional piano music. Recorded in two acoustically rich spaces, the album explores the interplay of sound and silence, presence and depth. Each note is placed with intention, each moment resonates with clarity.

Stiefel abandons predefined structures, allowing intuition to guide his playing. The music flows spontaneously-raw, honest, and immediate. Ambient sounds like breathing or rustling are not distractions but part of a vivid process that reveals the physical reality of performance.

‘To The Source’ is a radical commitment to musical essence. It doesn’t offer answers but opens spaces-for emotion, reflection, and universal connection. Significance: Christoph Stiefel is one of the most distinctive voices in European jazz. This album marks a quiet yet powerful statement of artistic freedom and depth.
