Stavros Lantsias - Diary of Dreams [2xLPS]

Diary of Dreams album by Stavros Lantsias Diary of Dreams (Ημερολόγιο Ονείρων) is a highly acclaimed contemporary jazz album by Cypriot pianist and composer Stavros Lantsias. Originally released in 2011, the album functions as a musical journal and features world-class collaborations with legendary drummer Peter Erskine and bassist Lars Danielsson, alongside the Athens Camerata orchestra. “Diary of Dreams” began as a journal of musical ideas. Like dreams that are forgotten soon after we wake up, that’s how I felt my melodies, like memories from dreams that I didn’t want to be forgotten. My wish, was to be moved by the musical outcome which in turn I hoped to move the musicians and ultimately you, the listeners! The coveted 2xLP vinyl edition is available as a high-quality, 180-gram gatefold reissue pressed at The Sound of Tape store.
