Details:
Richard Bellak writes newclassic music that is influenced by classical, jazz, pop and rock. The 12 jazz preludes and fugues in Fugal Dreams contain elements of each of these various styles. The fugues-one matched to the style of each prelude-are authentic 3 and 4 part fugues. From the standpoint of fugue as a musical form, this is a unique and exciting update. In the words of one reviewer, the Jazz Preludes and Fugues in Fugal Dreams are "amazingly accessible and enjoyable".

Allowing the track samples to play to the end (despite the pause after the prelude) will make it possible to hear, in most cases, some of the fugue that follows. (Track 3 is the exception-the prelude is too long to include any part of the fugue in the sample) If Fugal Dreams intrigues, there's another imaginative newclassic cd by Richard Bellak called Mixed Drinks.

An RCB NEWCLASSIC/Mindambience release.
