New remastering takes the listener seamlessly through a blend of core classical works, post-classical/contemporary piano pieces and sublime arrangements of music from film and providing a continuous listening experience, dissolving genres moving you seamlessly (and unorthodoxly!), from Albéniz to Benny Andersson, via Yiruma, and back out through Chopin to Secret Garden and Luke Howard.

Includes a brand new track recorded specially for this compilation by Chad Lawson and six new tracks from rising star Van-Anh Nguyen.

Featuring over 50 outstanding soloists from Deutsche Grammophon, Decca Classics, Mercury KX and Universal Music Australia: a literal A–Z of artists from Martha Argerich to Lilya Zilberstein.

Artists include: Martha Argerich, Andrei Gavrilov, Katia and Marielle Labèque, Lang Lang, Van-Anh Nguyen, Víkingur Ólafsson, Alice Sara Ott, Maria João Pires, Mikhail Pletnev, Tamás Vásáry, Anatol Ugorski, Yuja Wang, and many more, including contemporary composers performing their own works, such as: Joep Beving, Ludovico Einaudi, Lambert, Chad Lawson, and Stephan Moccio.
