Pianist Fanny Azzuro's first recording for Paraty, Russian Impulse, explores 20th-century Russian music. Rhythm and impulse are at the heart of all these compositions. Rachmaninov's Variations on a Theme of Corelli is based on the baroque dance theme Folia. The leitmotif of triplets in Prokofiev's sonata appears unceasingly as an impulsive hammering martial theme. In Kapustin's Variations, one senses the pulse and the groove as if the player was improvising like a jazz musician.
