Elegy for the End of the Cold War

Editorial Reviews
From the Artist
Marcus Raskin is a virtuoso classical pianist and improviser who weaves passion and breathtaking lyricism into this suite creating a gripping tableaux of the Cold War era.

With echoes of Liszt's theatricality, Chopin's poetry and Rachmaninov's thunder, the listener is swept up in the power and utter sincerity of Raskin's performances.
