Awards and reviews
December 2011
it is an eclectic assemblage of music that nevertheless reveals much about the artists, both Sri Lankan by birth. The contributions from each of the musicians reflect some of the major influences on their careers. Saram was a pupil of Casals, so Bach is very important to him, and his approach to the music reflects that....Silva's training as a harpsichordist and composer in Europe and the US is amply on show in the sophisticated and witty CPE Bach Variations
