Following his debut album, ‘Night Forest’, Siberian-born Ilya Beshevli’s ‘Wanderer’ is an emotive, piano-led insight into the bustling, ever-changing inner city life - specifically Moscow, where the musician now resides. The album is also in part influenced by the contrasting escapism, that momentary departure from the noise and distractions of a city can bring. Backed by the Imperialis Orchestra, tracks such as ‘The Traveller’s Night Song’ and ‘Memory of Sun’ are bolstered by masterful string-sections, heightening Beshevli’s depiction of his emotions and life experiences that are shaped by his surroundings and reactions to them.
