Vlady Bystrov / Helen Bledsoe / Alexey Lapin - Triologue ( Leo Records 2013)
Recorded live in St. Petersburg on a cold winter
night, this is the warmest music imaginable. For a spontaneously
inventive storyteller Vlady Bystrov and kaleidoscopic pianist Alexey
Lapin this is the second album on Leo Records. But here they are
augmented by the consummate flutist Helen Bledsoe, the soloist of
musikFabrik Koeln, who makes each piece an exhilarating adventure. While
the conception is of a post-modern, classical sort, the deep
sensibilities for "neue musik" come through Helen's flutes and Vlady's
clarinets coloured by Alexey's minimalistic and atmospheric explorations
on piano. An exceptionally organic flow that draws you into the stream
and keeps you in suspense. Leo Records
