Review:
'Another was the incredible Arkady Shilkloper, who brought his French horn from Moscow, Russia to Moscow, Idaho. His control of the instrument, and his blowing creativity have set a new standard, even Julius Watkins, his idol never produced such results.' - Leonard Feather, Jazz Times, June 1994
Description:
The story of this album began in February 2000, when Arkady Shilkloper's colleagues from the Vienna Art Orchestra, the Brazilian guitarist Alegre Correa and the Austrian double-bassist Georg Breinschmid, made their first visit to Moscow at his invitation. Having met them at Sheremetyevo airport, they had walked to the waiting bus. Sitting in the bus and not paying any attention to Moscow's winter landscapes, Alegre immersed himself in writing a musical theme which he completed just as they approached the hotel. Alegre dedicated it to the city and titled it 'Presente Para Moscou'.
Each of the 12 musician guests who took part in the recording presented to Moscow and the Moscow audience a part of his soul, love and talent, which is why his composition 'Presente Para Moscou' fits as the title of the entire album. Beside Alegre Correa and Georg Breinschmid, other well known guests appearing on this Album are Dhafer Youssef, Adrian Mears, Robertinho Silva and others.
