Vadim Neselovskyi

The Ukrainian pianist and composer Vadim Neselovskyi, praised by The Guardian for his extraordinary playing, presents his new suite Perseverantia for piano and string trio.

Although he draws inspiration from the ongoing tragedy in Ukraine, Perseverantia transcends politics; it is an ode to courage and hope in times of struggle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“Placing exhilarating piano improvisations in the context of gorgeous compositions for classical string trio, Perseverantia is Vadim’s greatest work to date.”

Musically, the suite moves between the lyricism of Eastern European folk music blended with avant‑garde elements, minimalism, and metal‑like grooves. The album, produced by John Zorn, will be released in February on Tzadik Records. It was recorded in the Bethlehemkerk in Amsterdam with the Ysaÿe Trio, consisting of Rada Ovcharova on violin, Emlyn Stam on viola, and Willem Stam on cello.
