Hisaishi’s lovingly detailed musical depictions of fantasy worlds bursting with imagination are expressed here in the composer’s own arrangements for solo piano. Wistful and quirky, soaring and epic, yet simultaneously compassionate and profoundly moving, this is an album that speaks directly to the human heart. It is music of hope, says Tamara, “It’s about passion and individuality and resilience, telling stories that inspire us and open up possibilities.” Buy, download or stream the album here.

"Never having had one myself, I wrote this piece as something that could complement such an experience and try to capture the particular élan of those times. I thought that such a dangerous and irregular beverage needed an irregular melody, so I wrote one that spreads over more than two octaves." (Elena Kats-Chernin) Erik Satie was known to be a lover of absynthe - 'the green fairy'.
