Where Dreams Become Sunlight:
The Music of Laurie Christman, original works for piano
The collection of Laurie Christman's early piano works for solo piano interpreted evocatively by Ayke Agus, noted concert pianist and longtime accompanist to Jascha Heifetz. This collection carries a wide range of classical piano styles from lyrical, romantic to powerful. In a world that sorely needs the inspsiration and uplifting provided by the beauty of classical art, these pieces strive to contribute to that end.
