Aleksey Igudesman takes us on a journey to his homeland and around the world with his own arrangements and humorous compositions for solo violin that captivate audiences from the first note to the last. Igudesman takes a close look at the eccentric side of the classical music scene. With quirky humor and bizarre virtuosity, he brings us closer to what classical music originally intended: to entertain and enrich our lives.

Aleksey Igudesman: I firmly believe that a true virtuoso always makes a piece their own—and that's exactly what I want from you when you play the pieces on this album. And don't worry about messing something up; that's simply part of your personal interpretation! In my opinion, there are no mistakes, only different possibilities!
