This has become one of the most important albums of my life. It’s essence is indescribable. Every sound from the start of the record through the end is placed delicately and with care. The album cover is by Julie Mehretu. It’s absolutely an incredible release for which I shall be eternally grateful. Aniket

Another masterpiece of this great pianist. A genius, a giant. His piano is a full orchestra (I also recommend listening to the album Celebration, a first album perfect in every way). Hard to tell which track of Byond The Stars is my favorite... TheHorizonAtDawn
