Gjeilo plays piano on all but one of the six movements, Riddell weaving his solo violin lines into the opening and closing movements, with the choir and orchestra providing the bulk of the music on all but the opening track. The other major choral work is the title piece, Dreamweaver, also with text by Silvestri, a […]
