Following two albums dedicated to two icons of Russian music (Rachmaninoff and Scriabin) the Latvian pianist Vestard Shimkus crosses the Atlantic to immerse himself in American modernism, spanning a century of musical creation, illuminating this imaginary escapade through a hugely diverse choice of aesthetics: from Carter (Intermittences, Caténaires) to Crumb (Processional) by way of Glass (Mad Rush) and Griffes (Sonata). Dont miss this bold, intoxicating journey. An absolute must for all music lovers of today!
