Description :
On an invitation to Greece by the guitar duo Evangelos and Liza, Hand brought along his new Odyssey as a gift. "The title refers both to my trip to Greece and also to the way in which the musical ideas interact with each other and evolve throughout their long journey," he says. The work also became the title track for his album, Odyssey, and is featured in a duet with fellow guitar master, David Leisner. "The work alternates between lush, pulsating chords and lyrical melodic passages before arriving at a vigorously strummed climactic passage." (from the album liner notes)
