He also recorded several critically acclaimed albums, including a collection of works by Franz Schubert and a disc of contemporary piano music by composers such as György Ligeti and Karlheinz Stockhausen. One of the highlights of Hadulla's career came in 2010, when he was invited to perform at the prestigious Salzburg Festival. His recital, which included works by Beethoven, Schumann, and Brahms, was hailed as a triumph by critics and audiences alike, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting pianists of his generation. In addition to his performing career, Hadulla is also a dedicated teacher and mentor.
