Marcus Raskin: Elegy for the End of the Cold War

Marcus Raskin is a conservatory-trained pianist turned virtuoso improviser. His CD weaves drama, passion, and breathtaking lyricism into a suite of gripping tableaus of the Cold War. Raskin's performance echoes of Lizst's theatricality, Chopin's poetry and Rachmaninov's thunderous immediacy.
