Albums
One of Machajdík’s most ambitious works to date, THE IMMANENT VELVET is a recording of new chamber music performed by Fero Király, Dušan Šujan, Floraleda Sacchi, Piero Salvatori, Daniel Garel, Ondrej Veselý, Valentina Casesa, the Ján Pöschl String Orchestra with Anita Mirossayová conducting, Eunjoo Noh, Guido Arbonelli, Yuko Tanako, and Dawn Scarfe. The composer formulates a new sonic palette that is in equal measures intriguing and unsettling. Hypnotic music with slow harmonic changes, melodic cells, and tonal ambiguity.

INSIDE THE TREE, a unique and exclusive recording, performed by Piero Salvatori & Floraleda Sacchi, features the nine-movement work In situ and other chamber music compositions for cello and harp written by Peter Machajdík. The album vividly demonstrates the quality of both Salvatori’s and Sacchi's playing, which manages to be both full-blooded and immensely sensitive at the same time. A masterpiece in neoclassical composition.

Italian harpist Floraleda Sacchi excels with Peter Machajdík's hypnotic composition Nell'autunno del suo abbraccio insonne as well as with works by John Cage, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, György Ligeti, Henry Cowell, Lou Harrison, and Nicola Campogrande on a powerful disc from DECCA.
Sacchi has a convincing way with these varied works, giving each their due in terms of tonal color and rhythmic emphasis, while suggesting implicit similarities. This is a seductive, rather than flamboyant, recital that offers surprising, albeit subtle, rewards to the open-minded listener. Art Lange, Fanfare

Peter Machajdík's 27 minute On The Seven Colours of Light and works by Patricia Van Ness, Thomas Åberg, Jim Dalton, Tim Rozema, Al Benner, and Harold Stover. The brilliant organist Carson Cooman has selected compositions for this recording that are unified by their debt to early music (most especially its modality) as well as an economy of means in their construction. All are built from simple musical materials, elaborated and developed by their composers to create compositions that inhabit musical spaces of an often spiritual character.
