«9th Planet» is the 9th musical album of the artist. As the previous four, it is comprised of two disks. From the global perspective, Igor Zavadsky has, just as every creative personality, his own world and his own planet, living on which is very different from everyday life. As regards the musical world, each album is for Igor like a separate planet with its name and peculiarities. As of August 24, 2006, there were 8 planets left in the solar system. The International Astronomical Union decided that Pluto shall no longer be a planet. Igor Zavadsky has always been beyond any limits. He is now beyond the solar system with his ninth planet :)

In the «9th Planet», as compared to other albums, the chronological period to which the musical pieces included in the CD refer was expanded now ranging from the XVI century (G.Caccini) to the XXI century (A.Rybak), which is a half of a millennium! The repertoire’s genre variety was also widened: Igor played rock and world’s pop hits of the XX and XXI century for the first time. Igor Zavadsky’s button accordion sounds for the first time with the orchestra of folk instruments, in trio with violin and opera singer, with chorus and percussion, and in duet with harmonica. In «The Phantom of the Opera» by A.L.Webber, Igor combined the acoustic sound of his instrument, orchestra, chorus, and opera singing with the electronic sound of a variety group. Also for the first time, Igor Zavadsky’s voice may be heard on his disks: before G.Sviridov’s «Troika», Igor declaims the epigraph to A.Pushkin’s story «The Snowstorm» (V.Zhukovsky’s verse).

8 of 22 pieces, though in a different interpretation, where Igor plays were already part of his previous albums. The second disk of the album presents three duets with Igor Zavadsky’s performance and guests of his concerts from Ukraine, France and Montenegro. All of the album’s compositions are recorded directly at three Kyiv concerts of the artist held in the October Palace (January 20, 2010) and in the Actor’s House (January 21, 2009 and January 21, 2010).
