Celebrated keyboardist and composer Michael Hoppe teams up with alto flutist Tim Wheater to bring us THE DREAMER: ROMANCES FOR ALTO FLUTE VOLUME 2. The album features Hoppe's compositions based on images of famous men and women from the first half of the 20th century. Hoppe draws his inspiration for his work from the elder, famous portrait photographer, E.O. Hoppe. The musical images are based on the portraits of physicist Albert Einstein, author A. A. Milne and actress Anna May Wong, and are included on this album. Each track consists of lyrical compositions suggestive of passionate love songs whose qualities are ones of tenderness, intimacy and dreaming. Each romance is individually dedicated to the celebrated men and women featured in the photos, and are included in the CD booklet. (This is the long-awaited re-issue of THE DREAMER.)
