    From ARIA Award-winning pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska: music by Australia’s favourite composer, Elena Kats-Chernin. Two new concertos: Ancient Letters, inspired by personal letters written 1700 years ago by an abandoned woman on the Silk Road near Samarkand, and Lebewohl, imagining the grief experienced by the great composer Bach when he returned home from a 6-week trip to find his wife, Maria Barbara, dead and buried. Plus a new version of Elena’s most popular track, "Eliza Aria", for piano and orchestra.
