WHEN TIME SPLITSMikhail RUDY & Jeff MILLS

admin-rudy — Sun, 05 Mar 2017 11:06:45 +0000

« In Jeff’s music I found elements that were very close to me as an artist. For him like for me the concert is a transe-like, mystical experience. His music is full of images. I can hear very distant scenery like waves for instance, things that he does not even realize because he does music in a very intuitive way.

As a classical pianist my head is full of the music of the greatest composers, like in a dream during the concert, I let them come out to encounter Jeff’s music. » Mikhail Rudy

admin-rudy — Thu, 05 Jan 2017 11:19:06 +0000

Improvisation on classical themes by the piano duo formed by Mikhail Rudy and jazz pianist Misha Alperin.

« I followed my desire to have Schumann and Tristano through an imaginary journey in a crystal forest. Gradually, the outline of this journey, born from crossed dreams through different musical landscapes took form. All this journey’s pleasure was in discovery. » – Mikhail Rudy

The duo played this program on some of the greatest international stages, such as : the London Kings Place, Paris Théâtre du Trianon, Nanterre Maison de la Musique, Paris Collège des Bernardins, Oslo Theatre, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and the festivals of Sully-sur-Loire, La Moutte, Sudney, Montenegro, Jersey …

« Alperin’s fizzing with excitement, Rudy’s gently quizzical, they embarked on the most extraordinary classical/jazz conversation I’ve ever heard. »
The Independent, Michael Church *****
