""Adagio" is a collaboration of pianist George Skaroulis and composer Chris Spheeris. Skaroulis arranged sixteen of Spheeris' classic pieces for solo piano, giving them a personal and elegant interpretation of his own. I have several of Spheeris' early albums, but for some reason, haven't kept up with his work. Hearing these pieces again has renewed my interest, and has also sparked my enthusiasm for Skaroulis the interpreter as well as the composer and pianist. Most of the tracks are on the quiet side, making this an introspective and relaxing album - wonderful for reading and/or unwinding. Favorite tracks include "Elektra," "Andalu," "Juliette," and "Field of Tears." "Adagio" is an outstanding album, and I highly recommend it to those who enjoy reflective solo piano."

Simply Great!!

"This collaberation cd from Chris Spheeris and George Skaroulis is a simple reminder of how wonderful and melodic instrumental music can be. I purchased this cd not knowing much about Chris' work, but having been a Skaroulis fan for the past couple of years, I knew that the music would be top notch. Once again George proved me right. His interpretations of Chris' work is absolutely wonderful and you'll be treated with soft and soul-warming melodies. Sit back, relax, and allow the wonderful language of music heal you and bring that inner peace that we all yearn so much for."
