"The creation of a record is always an adventure. No matter how much experience you may have, no matter how many times you may have been in a studio, you have to bring this mission not only to an end, but to a happy end! Continuous criticism, self-criticism, introspection, effort, work and in the end you have the merciless monitors of the control room accusing you, only to reward you later on... Like a woman who puts on her make-up and combs herself before going out for a formal accasion: At first, her mirror may fret with what it sees, but eventually... it smiles at her! We have decided to put on our make-up with some thousand notes of Chausson and Brahms. If, then, we suppose that the monitors of the studio were like a mirror for us, then, this CD is our image...!

We thank from the heart Sophocles Sapounas for his continuous trust in us, Vangelis Sapounas for his patience and creativity, Mrs Aristi Georgopoulou for standing by us all the time, our families for their multiform support, as well as the companies Subways and Subway Recording Studios which worked and still work for us."

"I have the opinion that, in whatever happens, there are both positive and negative aspects, that is, in whatever you do, there is something you win and something you lose. Personally, having created this CD, I do not know yet what I have lost, but I have already realized how many things I have gained, without being able to mention all of them publicly… I will point out only one. A feeling. Charm… I was charmed in every way and every level! I tasted, whatever this sweet word may mean or imply! I want to share part of this sense with other people too, but I have only got one way. The one you hold in your hands…"
