Reception
... The pianist of the [Big Band Igor Butman] orchestra Anton Baronin, as usual, flashed with classical technique and a completely academic level of presentation of the material, which at the same time turned out to be completely jazz in style and intonation. Anton was not even prevented by a sudden shutdown of the monitor through which he was supposed to hear all the orchestral fabric: the solo ended with the same brilliance and grace with which it had begun. <...> Once again, the orchestra turned to Russian classics in “Paraphrase on S. Sh. Rachmaninoff's C Sharp Minor Prelude”, which opened with an extensive solo episode of pianist Anton Baronin, who demonstrated not only a brilliant understanding of the Rachmaninov’s text (and his ability to quite reliably read), but also a fair amount of irony, here and there, staining the dense piano fabric with unexpected “mutations”. The main, orchestral part of Paraphrase sounded beautifully, in which the arrangement took the orchestra quite far from the original Sergei Vasilyevich, but displayed, quite predictably, all the same, in a solid modern jazz mainstream [1] .
