This CD contains performances from Eminence Symphony Orchestra's Piano Stories III. The concert in true Eminence style showed off both Final Fantasy and anime powerhouse Studio Ghibli pieces.
All of the pieces were played with precision, much to the delight of piano fans. Alexey Yemtsov is one of Australia's greatest pianists, and it shows. The CD was sold at both the Melbourne and Sydney performances. It is hoped the album will be available online in the future.
All track list translations were done by Square Haven staff and contributors unless otherwise stated here.
