In the tradition of The Swoon Collections, this CD showcases contemporary Australian music that is profound and passionate, meditative and soothing. All the works on this disc have become 'classics' in their own right.
Tracks include Ross Edwards' Dawn Mantras (a piece performed on the sails of the Sydney Opera House to greet the new millennium), the lush slow movement from Carl Vine's Piano Concerto, Peter Sculthorpe's immortal Small Town, and works by Nigel Westlake, Graeme Koehne, Peggy Glanville-Hicks and more.
