Gleb Kolyadin (2018)

Gleb Kolyadin is a pianist and one half of the Russian duo Iamthemorning from Sankt Petersburg. With Iamthemorning he released three albums between 2012 and 2016. Now he has released a solo album with some guest musicians, including:
Steve Hogarth (Marillion) - vocals
Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) - keyboards
Theo Travis (Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson) - flute, saxophone
Nick Beggs (Steven Wilson) - bass
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson) - drums
and many more.
It is, of course, these guest musicians that attracted me to listen to this album, and it was worth it!
The album is a mixture of modern classical piano music and rock music, which I can imagine Bach and Stravinsky, if they lived today, would also enjoy. In parts it is reminiscent of Renaissance, Keith Emerson and Patrick Moraz.
For me this release is the surprise of the year.
