Composer Igor Yakovenko presents his new album False Sonatas, which he positions as a modern fantasy about the ideal form of classical music.

For Igor Yakovenko, there are no boundaries between classical and non-academic music, just as there are no boundaries for him between creativity and science. Yakovenko graduated from the Aerospace University.

Igor Yakovenko's creative biography includes the opera Guilty, created for the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, four albums released on the Russian innovative label FANCYMUSIC. As a solo pianist and as a member of groups, Yakovenko performed at leading Moscow art venues, including the Jewish Museum, Stanislavsky Electrotheatre, and Richter space. His virtuoso playing has earned recognition and awards at prestigious international competitions, including the International Busoni Piano Competition (Italy) and Art of 21 century (Lithuania).

In his works, be it a cycle based on the poetry of Velimir Khlebnikov or a series of preludes, he refers not so much to the sounds themselves, but to the ideas of their development and existence in time. In the new piano album False Sonatas, inspired by the work of the greatest British composer of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten, Igor Yakovenko has found the perfect balance between austere structure and sensitive acoustic beauty.
