Projet 2026 - en cours
Les Métropoles en scènes
This project and this music reflect every day of our life - not a Groundhog Day, but a very colorful and inspiring day with lots of different emotions, not necessarily joyful: they can be reflective, melancholic, exciting, inspiring. That is why I created a concept from early morning until late night. An opportunity to live a day through music:

7.00 am - The morning begins with Philip Glass, two pieces from his film music The Hours: The Poet Acts and Morning Passages.
9.00 am - We walk towards the subway and dive into ourselves. Here appears Polina Nazaykinskaya - a young female composer, extremely talented and sensitive. Her Fedya’s Waltz, written for toy piano and grand piano, is some kind of immersion into childhood, a simple melody growing into a powerful poem. After that comes Ignis - reflections and inner dialogues of a mature woman before she becomes a mother.
11.00 pm - Going out of the subway, we find ourselves on Parisian streets with cozy cafés, parks, people going in different directions for their own business - for this I chose, of course, Francis Poulenc, a wonderful illustrator of city life.
17.00 pm - We move with George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue into a sparkling New York, full of lights, sounds, and the noise of life.
10.00 pm - We get into a jazz club with Nikolai Kapustin - a pure fusion of energy.
12.00 am - We return home with In My Room - Jacob Collier’s arrangement of the Beach Boys song.

REVELATIONS
Anastasia Calmus - piano
This album was recorded live in concert, with several pieces captured in a single take — no editing, just pure performance. I’ve chosen works that warm my heart, many of which are little known. At the center of the album is a piece by one of my dearest composers, Alfred Schnittke. He wrote it while still a student — a truly unique work in form, consisting of five preludes and one fugue. You will also discover compositions by Friedrich Gulda, Eduard Artemyev, and others.
