Igor Yakovenko has created a new Promenade album to celebrate 150 years since Modest Mussorgsky’s famous work, Pictures at an Exhibition. This album has 11 tracks and was released under the well-known MELODY label. It combines classical music with modern sounds, connecting different times and styles.

Yakovenko is known for blending classical music with jazz. In Promenade, he takes Mussorgsky’s original music and presents it freshly. The album is not just music; it is an interactive experience. Each track is linked to modern artworks by eleven Russian artists, turning Mussorgsky’s 19th-century ideas into a virtual modern art gallery. This creates an engaging mix of sound and visuals, allowing listeners to appreciate music and art together.

From the lively start of “Promenade” to the creative interpretation of “Gnomus,” Yakovenko’s music is a tribute to and a new version of Mussorgsky’s work. He has studied at places like the Moscow Conservatory and Snape Maltings, and his skill brings new energy to Mussorgsky’s tunes, mixing in jazz elements, experimental sounds, and hints of early music styles.

Yakovenko shares his thoughts on creativity. You can feel this idea in Promenade, where traditional classical music meets unexpected styles like hip-hop, modern influences, and moments of free improvisation.

The album is 45 minutes and 38 seconds long and attracts a broad audience, including classical music fans, jazz lovers, and those who enjoy contemporary art. With its innovative approach and deep respect for the original, Igor Yakovenko’s Promenade changes how we think about honoring a masterpiece.
