¡An Evening Hymn
¡Anton Batagov
Description
[Machine Translation] Anton Batagov, born in 1965, is a jockey of Russian contemporary music pianists and a composer who is positioned as post-minimalist. The high level of beauty created by his extremely slow approach but maintaining a high level of tension, as heard in Messiaen and Bach, has caused a great deal of controversy in some circles. This time he releases English Baroque. It is a collection of virginal works, as well as dramatic music and songs arranged for the keyboard. As Batagov says, "We have experienced jazz, rock, new age, minimalism, and avant-garde," this album reveals the fun, freshness, and beauty of re-telling baroque music in modern terms rather than trying to play it as it was. The recording, which honestly picks up the sound of the Steinway without too many echoes, also enhances the excellence of the works and the performances.
