Perpetuum Immobile was released by Leo Records in January 2002.[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that "The influences on this solo recital come from the entire modern classical canon, and quite explicitly so."[3] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "Nabatov's solo piano work is entirely different than his ensemble recordings: Alone, he displays a strong romantic side that can be alternately dark and brooding or vigorously upbeat. His use of the pedals adds an atmospheric element that never devolves to mawkishness, but instead embraces life."[2]
