Lawrence Ball is a composer and performer. He writes: Music is now moving into the possibility of neither ignoring nor over-emphasising the darker side of expression. We are aware enough of darkness in society through both the popular media and the arts. We now need to know how to break through it, ours and others, into a sane, responsible and expressive light. You can read more about Lawrence Ball and his music at www.lawrenceball.org.

VISTAS presents us with 14 grand and beautiful views into the landscape of human emotions; the epic beauty of all we share expressed through the pure, simple beauty of the piano. Lush and evocative this album is a wonderful collection of orchestrated and solo piano compositions that are cinematic and soulful.

Vistas is expansive indeed. Lori-Ann Speed's grand piano journey is a powerfully heart-centred sweeping tide of visionary intensity. Whether for musical ambience, background, or inner journeying, this is uniquely channeled contemporary classical music presented, as she says, "in the ancient way, as a transformational vehicle…" Lori-Ann Speed is a visionary composer and pianist of our time. Her music will touch you deeply." - Kolin Lymworth - Founder & Shaper - Banyen Books & Sound
