Alice writes, "This deluxe edition follows on from the album Echoes of Life, which reflects my own very personal point of view." When I began playing this program in front of an audience, I realized that this was no longer my own personal 'Echoes of Life' journey. After the concert, audience members wrote to me about what they had experienced and felt, and people I hardly recognized from the stage were sharing very personal and moving stories with me.During the Japan tour, I remember reading those messages while traveling by train between cities and being extremely moved, tears streaming down my cheeks. Echoes of Life" took on a new dimension, and as my original connection to the project slowly faded, the thoughts and stories of those who had participated and witnessed the project began to take shape, echoing through the concert halls with the music. For this expanded edition of Echoes of Life, I have chosen pieces that do not impose their own connections, but that still relate uniquely to the works, composers, and themes of the original album," (Alice-Sara Ott) "Her beautiful tonal playing is technically Her beautiful tonal playing is technically impeccable, with a virtuoso sense and good musical judgement" - BBC Music Magazine Universal Music/IMS
