Caprichos

Editor's info:
Caprichos is a less jazzy work by Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky, one of the best Russian composers working today. It consists of 43 short pieces recorded by the Guyvoronsky's trumpet and a string ensemble. While the music for the string ensemble is rigorously structured, the trumpet improvises, flies above and away. It seems that Guyvoronsky can't help it, for his roots, heart and soul are in free jazz. The whole thing is Guyvoronsky's response to Goya's etchings by which he was greatly impressed and inspired.
