"Rastrelli Cello Quartet '-' cello in jazz»

"Rastrelli Cello Quartet" - rather unusual ensemble. In every respect. Cello Quartet plays jazz, and even the old themes of Soviet music. And it sounds seasoned, stylish and with great taste. Russian response "Apocalyptica" - one could be a media message musician. Now the quartet live mainly in Germany and performs concerts around the world. Three cellists ready in time for the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Rimsky-Korsakov, and the fourth - Minsk musicians. In Russia, they are very rare, it can not lead to regret. The fact is that the quality of salon music for some reason not so many in our country. Niche busy salon music artists songs and chamber music ensembles in the classical repertoire. Listen to a great jazz, folk, or the best melodies of pop music by thin academic musicians would still performed. The niche is, but it's almost empty. On the plate, "cello in jazz" collected jazz and pop hits from different years, the United Jewish authors - George Gershwin, Paul Desmond, David Ben-Mordechai, Russian Matvey Blanter and Isaac Schwartz ... The principle of selection seems odd at first glance. Because when you will hear on the album clear message - national roots in the work of authors in different genres crystallize bizarre faces mosaic in which counterpoints through the "Porgy and Bess" suddenly lit klezmer, and by the "Milonga" by Astor Piazzolla - Freilekhs . Taken all the original agreements Sergey Drabkin, one of the participants, "Rastrelli Cello Quartet", and the musicians played as gentle as possible with respect to the well-known authors certainly do not expect. The possibility in executing their work in such a composition Sometimes it seems that you have to hear a chamber ensemble - as derived wide range of sounds from the cellos. Graceful transition from piano to fortissimo just fascinating. It is worth mentioning that the musicians reach the degree of freedom of the game, if the technology can be used in the tool are forgotten, and in the foreground emotional openness and generosity of the execution. Brilliant results. This is a good way of entertaining music. Recommended as a quality background music, and fans of melodic Jewish traditions. Not recommended zealots jazz mainstream and avant-garde.
