This seminal work from John Psathas remains one of Rattle’s most highly-regarded releases.
Hailed as New Zealand’s most ambitious orchestral recording, View From Olympus features inspired and uplifting performances from its principal soloists. Acclaimed as the composer of the ceremonial music for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, John is thrilled that this recording has been completed. “For me, this is bigger than anything I’ve done – bigger than the Olympics,” he says. “These are my strongest works – my biggest statements and now they exist in the world.”
