About

Toccata Classics takes its first step into crossover with two of Russia’s finest musicians, Yuri Bashmet, viola, and Igor Butman, saxophone.
 
According to Bashmet, the composer-pianist Igor Raykhelson – born in Leningrad in 1961 and now resident in New York – ‘possesses a superb mastery of both classical and jazz idioms’.
 
The Jazz Suite on this CD exhibits Raykhelson’s popular style at its most infectiously catchy. The other three works here, in the Russian tradition of writing for strings initiated by Tchaikovsky, present the more classical side of his muse; the Adagio for viola and strings is exquisitely tuneful.
