This is the first volume of Seabourne’s widely acclaimed large-scale piano series, described as “one of the most important of the 21st Century”. Four other cycles from this series are already available on Sheva Contemporary label.

Virtuoso pianist, Minjeong Shin, gives breathtaking performances of these varied and expressive works, making their actual technical difficulty seem efortless. This is music of great emotional communication, embracing the listener instantly but revealing further depths on repeated hearings. Unlike the following four volumes in this series, this is not a cycle, but rather a collecting together of works written shortly after the composer broke his twelve year silence in 2001.
