'Wanderer' is an emotive, piano-led insight into the bustling, ever-changing inner city life - specifically Moscow, where Ilya Beshevli now resides. The album is also in part influenced by the contrasting escapism, that momentary departure from the noise and distractions of a city can bring. Backed by the Imperialis Orchestra, tracks such as 'The Traveller's Night Song' and 'Memory Of Sun' are bolstered by masterful string sections, heightening Beshevli's depiction of his emotions and life experiences that are shaped by his surroundings and reactions to them. Ilya's beautiful compositions are a distinctly Siberian take on the modern classical genre. His expert intertwining of differing moods and textures play out exquisitely on 'Wanderer', which ends how it begins - a captivating piano solo from Beshevli on 'A Book Of Hours' marking the journey complete.CD - Four panel digipack CD.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Matte laminate finish heavy board Gatefold sleeve and a digital download coupon. In addition, both physical formats include a download card for a free Village Green label sampler.
