Den tiende ECM utgivelsen med den greske film- og teaterkomponisten Eleni Karaindrou er et eksepsjonell live-opptak: "Concert In Athens".

Kim Kashkashian og Jan Garbarek er gjester på konserten og leverer begge bevegende fremføringer. Den amerikanske bratsjisten og den norske saksofonisten har begge gitt viktige bidrag til Karaindrous musikk gjennom årene. Garbarek spilte på filmmusikken til "The Beekeeper" og Kashkashian var sentral i filmmusikken til Angelopolous mesterverk "Ulysses Gaze ". Temaer fra begge disse filmene hentes frem igjen her, men vi få også mye nytt materiale. Albumet legger hovedvekt på musikk skrevet for teateroppsettinger av stykker av Arthur Miller, Tennesee Williams og Edward Albee. Produsert av Manfred Eicher.
