Discography

The First of Everything - Eunike Tanzil

The First of Everything, released on 12th September 2025, is composer Eunike Tanzil’s debut album on Deutsche Gramophone. Recorded in Berlin with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, the album is conducted by Anna Handler and features both Eunike Tanzil (piano) and Sophie Kauer (cello) as soloists.

 

The album’s 12 tracks are musical snapshots of significant firsts in Tanzil’s life. Sophie appears on “Aria” and “Metamorphosis”. “Both tracks are about someone evolving and growing,” notes Eunike, “so I’m giving Sophie all the freedom to be herself.” 

 

As for Kauer, “our goal as musicians is to realise a composer’s dream, so it is amazing to be doing that with a composer that is still alive and in the room next to me giving all this feedback. It is really wonderful to see her whole vision come to life. Eunike’s music really engages a lot of people who maybe wouldn’t normally listen to classical music, which is what I’m all about.”

TAR (Music From And Inspired By
The Motion Picture)

The multi-faceted concept album features music from and inspired by the movie, including a series of stunning new tracks by Hildur Guðnadóttir, as well as extracts from major works by Elgar and Mahler. It complements the film by presenting completed, real-life versions of the music on which we see the fictional protagonist Lydia Tár (played by Cate Blanchett) working.

 

"One of our aims with the album was to reveal something of the complex process that goes on behind orchestral rehearsals and recordings. The tracks, like the film, are meant to invite the listener to experience the messiness involved in the making of music.”

Unsung

Released in 2023, Unsung presents works by Nadia Boulanger, Clara Schumann, Anatoly Lyadov and Felix Mendelssohn. "I had the pleasure of playing with pianist Kunal Lahiry, a current BBC New Generation Artist and recipient of the 2021 Carl Bechstein Foundation scholarship. Our performance of the first of Clara Schumann’s 3 Romances, Op. 22 reached number one on the Classical On-Demand Audio Streaming chart, making me the youngest artist since the chart’s inception to achieve this top position at just 21 years old."

 

"With this EP, I aimed to draw fans of TÁR deeper into the world of classical music. This is beautifully written, classy music. I wanted to show that classical music itself can be very accessible. The double meaning of my chosen title, Unsung, reflects both the songlike quality of my chosen repertoire and my desire to promote music by female composers, voices that have been relatively unheard for so long, as well as some other pieces that are not as well-known as they deserve to be."

 

The EP opens with the first of Clara Schumann’s Three Romances Op. 22. “It’s so warm and youthful, and has so much emotion packed into such a short space of time. The Prelude from Lyadov’s Morceaux Op. 11 is "icy and cold" and the first of Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words Op. 30 is "like a mixture of going to sleep and the dream that follows."

​

The EP also includes the last of Nadia Boulanger’s Three Pieces, originally written for organ in 1914 and later transcribed by the composer for cello and piano. "It’s very sassy and bold, a lot of fun to play and quite sarcastic." A video for this track was filmed by the same team – including director Mateusz MiszczyÅ„ski – that created the video for Hania Rani and Dobrawa Czocher’s Malasana, winner of the 2022 Opus Klassik Video Clip of the Year award.
