It offers a musical history of the genre of the Prelude, ending with preludes in the new colours and styles of jazz and pop. Nikolai Kapustin takes up the Russian tradition of Skrjabin and Rachmaninoff. With the Interlude from the cycle ‘Let’s swing Mr Bach!’, Edward Putz pays homage to the great master Johann Sebastian Bach, bringing the collection to a fitting close.
