Album Notes

Eliana has been playing the alphorn since the age of six. As unusual it may seem, the combination of alphorn, funk, pop and jazz works perfectly with her own style. While playing the alphorn, Eliana manages impressive musical acrobatics in which she pushes her instrument to its limits. Further, she add an unmistakable personal not to her songs.

David Richards (Queen, David Bowie, Chris Rea...) of famous Mountain Studios produced together with Eliana Burki "Heartbeat".

David Richards about his work with Eliana:

“It was a special project dear to my heart. yes, and writing music together was an extremely wonderful experience for me. I‘ve never had such a perfect working relationship with anyone before quite like working with Eliana. She is strong and talented and at the same time fragile and sensitive. We worked for months and months taking the Alphorn to it's limits and beyond ever known before. We mixed it into Funk, Rock, and Blues and still had time for more experimental styles. It was a project of love and inspiration (sometimes divine) and it's labour was glorious.

Eliana is a great star. I have been fortunate to know many, and have come to recognize their qualities when I see them. Eliana has the courage and the perseverance to pull it off. She is incredible live and plays to full auditoriums everywhere.“
