Two young Turks of Leo Records, the saxophonist Vlady Bystrov of Germany and
the pianist Alexey Lapin of Russia (see
CD LR 524
&
540), join forces to throw
a gauntlet to the Russian classical composer Rimsky-Korsakov - the duo performed
under a huge portrait of the great Russian Master whose spirit was haunting
the performance. Although Bystrov added to his saxophone a huge array of
electronic instruments while Lapin played acoustic piano only, the musicians
abandoned their egos to create an exciting blend of perfect harmony.
