Very interesting piece. This was just recommended to me by a good Russian friend, Galina, who lives in France, like me.
What is so interesting is that one can hear many different influences: Gerschwin, Barber, some Hollywood strings, and also Rachmaninov. Thank you so much for sharing, and it's great to be able to follow the score at the same time. Ah my God, the Russian school of piano is just about the finest in the world. I enjoyed this very much.

Recent discovery, never heard of him, Tsfasman, so delicate and fairy-tale like this jazz. It is beautiful!

1:25 reminds me of rach pc4

[@bailahie4235]

Interesting that Pletnev (the conductor) also has performed this piece as pianist! In a more gentle, super-fluent style, characteristic of Pletnev.
