Conducted by Dominik Beykirch, the album is dedicated to the virtuoso works of composer Nikolai Kapustin and impressively combines jazz with classical music. The album also features a world premiere: the “Toccata” Op. 8 has been recorded here in full length for the first time. Kapustin wrote the piece for solo piano and big band, bringing out the full range of the piano with breathtaking brilliance and fast passages.
