Overview
John Psathas' second solo release was voted Classical Album of the Year at the 2004 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

Also in this collection, works for piano and percussion including a new recording of Matre's Dance which has been played around the world by Evelyn Glennie."Psathas writes music that is very much of now; it's beautiful, fashionable, successful.. This is a CD you cannot possibly afford to be without" - Rod Biss, Sunday Star Times.
