The \"melodramas\" here are readings with piano accompaniment, and although they are not songs, the emotionally rich narratives are very enjoyable to listen to. Inoch Arden\" is based on the poem of the same title by the English poet Sir Alfred Tennyson. It depicts three children growing up in a seaside village, their different paths, love stories, and love triangles. Castle by the Sea\" is based on a poem by German poet Ludwig Uhland. It depicts a traveler returning from a medieval fortress. The sea is the motif of both works, and the piano paints various images of the sea as well as painstakingly weaves the emotions of the characters. On this album, British actor \u0026amp; voice actor Christopher Kent reads two of the pieces. Kent himself translated \"Castle by the Sea\" from German into English. He has collaborated with many musicians, and has been performing regularly and to good acclaim since 2016 with Gamal Khamis, who plays the piano here. The booklet includes commentary (in English) by Kent and Khamis, which shows the enthusiasm of the two musicians.
