Konstantin Vassiliev’s music synthesises several different styles including jazz, Russian folk music and contemporary Western traditions. This album contains music written over a 22-year period, with three works composed specifically for guitar soloist Yuri Liberzon. The Hommage à Tom Jobin was inspired by one of the creators of the bossa nova style, while the melancholic and lyrical contrasts of Rose in the Snow reveal Vassiliev’s gift for storytelling. Arias, romantic miniatures, variations and multi-character episodes further reveal Vassiliev to be a vibrant and exciting composer of wide-ranging gifts.

    BLAIR JACKSON /Editor, Classical Guitar writes...Not surprisingly, we have Andres Segovia to thank for popularizing the notion of playing J.S. Bach on the guitar. In London in May of 1928, the Maestro recorded the "Fugue" from the Sonata for Violin No. 1 (BWV 1001), a deliciously complex Baroque masterpiece, for the first time. That no doubt thrilled and challenged burgeoning guitarists who heard it on d...
