Description:

This album is a collection of stories told by orchestral music, stories told by pure instrumental orchestral music. The album includes colorful performances of Milhaud telling the story of Creation using jazz idioms, Keklan depicting a beautiful and majestic starry sky, and Elgar whispering various figures and riddles to us. Smoke" by Duncan Ward is a work that was shaped by his visit to India and his fascination with its music and the influence he received from meeting Ravi Shankar in later years. Naxos Japan
