  CD Baby: MIKHAIL CHEKALIN: Album with a Symphony
Chekalin was always independent from the official soviet art and in return he was ignored by official cultural structures of Soviet Union, embodied in monopoly apparatus of USSR composer’s union, and his every step was followed by KGB.
Chekalin is a sonic sorcerer who summons forth the spirits of his Russian heritage and impregnates them with cosmic emotion.
Chekalin’s Probability Symphony in the Style of Jazz, recorded with jazz trio in 1994, was released by Leo Records, UK (Golden Years of the New Jazz series) "…much gripping improv and post-modern chamber music." (Barry Witherden, Jazz Review, 2002, UK).
