A magnificent piano feast where classical music meets jazz.
This is a special album that jazzes up Tchaikovsky's works, and the combination of a flowing piano touch and rhythmic accompaniment creates a unique elegance.
Despite the explosive piano technique, Eugen Cicero's touch remains refined, never compromising the beauty of the classical music. He places Tchaikovsky's melodies on a swinging trajectory, creating a balance of dynamism and elegance. The rhythm section is light and nimble, highlighting the delicate expression of the piano. The flow of sound is natural, as if jazz and classical music are breathing in unison. This intelligent and glamorous crossover masterpiece continues to captivate listeners today.
