In this inspired live concert recording, Terry Riley, one of the Master - Composers of our century, plays a kaleidoscopic improvisational journey of solo piano music from his Piano Cycle The Harp of New Albion and from Salome Dances for Peace, originally composed for String Quartet, which is recorded here for the first time in its piano version.

The listener will find new in this recording the magic and extraordinary beauty which breathlessly held the attention of the audience that evening.
In Riley's opinion, this is one of his best piano albums.
