Summary:
"Grimaud performs great, water-themes romantic and contemporary repertoire, and in addition to these traditional evocations of rivers, lakes, seas, snowflakes and raindrops, Nitin Sawhney's Transitions are woven into the albums 'narrative' as newly composed reflections upon water as a feature of nature, its spiritual connotations, and its role in the world today"--Container.
