"Taking a pause from his rock albums, Steve Hackett trades in his electric guitar for his classical on this inspired travelog around the Mediterranean, making the most of the inherent, abundant inspiration as he goes. For those not in the know, Hackett is a stunning classical player whose composition skills match his technique. This blend of solo works and orchestrated ensemble pieces is a welcome start to the new year, an all-instrumental affair which will whisk you away to exotic destinations even in this era of lockdown".
