About
Tall Poppies Records is proud to present this CD of chamber music by one of Australia’s favourite composers: Elena Kats-Chernin.
A distinguished cast of Australian musicians plays works written for them, on commission. All the music is strong, always optimistic, never dull! Elena Kats-Chernin is fresh from her success on stage with the score for the ballet Wild Swans for Meryl Tankard and the recent ballet Amalgamate for the Bangarra Dance Theatre with the Australian Ballet.
This is the 33rd single-composer chamber music CD in the Tall Poppies catalogue.

Awards and reviews
It almost goes without saying that all the works here are beautifully performed and recorded, having a unity which dispels any doubts created by the ‘compilation’ nature of this CD...Her musical language keys directly into the human scale of emotions, being stirring and uplifting without being sentimental
