Philip Glass has made an immense and stylistically wide-ranging contribution to piano repertoire. The Orphée Suite, a transcription of excerpts from the first opera in Glass’ Cocteau Trilogy, is one of his most distinctive piano pieces, blending virtuosity and melodic richness. In contrast, the hypnotic How Now is structurally influenced by Indian ragas and gamelan music, whilst Dreaming Awake contains one of the most powerful climaxes in all Glass’ works. Performed by Nicolas Horvath, a Scriabin Competition first prize winner, this is the first release in the complete Glass solo piano edition which will include many premières.

Indonesian jazz fusion outfit simakDialog were formed in Jakarta in 1993 by Riza Arshad, a mainly self-taught keyboardist skilled in a variety of styles including jazz, prog rock, and global traditional musics, along with drummer/percussionist Arie Anuyir and electric bassist Indro Hardjodikoro. Tohpati Ario Hutomo, a classical and jazz guitarist, also joined simakDialog that year – transforming the group from a trio to a quartet – and like Arshad became a key member of the ensemble over the next two decades.
