“Diary of Dreams” began as a journal of musical ideas. Like dreams that are forgotten soon after we wake up, that’s how I felt my melodies, like memories from dreams that I didn’t want to be forgotten. My wish, was to be moved by the musical outcome which in turn I hoped to move the musicians and ultimately you, the listeners! 　　 　　Stavros Lantsias piano 　　Peter Erskine drums 　　Lars Danielsson bass 　　 　　Athens Camerata 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 13 　　 　　Chris Bleth oboe, english horn, clarinet, flute & alto flute 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 　　Dimitris Houndis soprano saxophone 8, 13 　　Renato Ripo solo cello 1, 6, 8 　　Sergiu Nastasa solo violin 1, 7 　　Yiorgos Kaloudis cretan lyra 7 　　 　　ATHENS CAMERATA: 　　 　　Concertmaster: Sergiu Nastasa 　　 　　VIOLINS 　　Juleta Avetyan 　　Liu Jing 　　Olga Kim 　　Svetlana Sheveleva 　　Vanessa Athanasiou 　　Otilia Alitei 　　Angela Fanarioti 　　Nasos Martzoukos 　　Vasil Papa 　　Luise Stahl 　　Elena Tavantzi 　　 　　VIOLAS 　　Laurentiu Matasaru 　　Elisabeth Schäfer 　　Larisa Vylegzhanina 　　Patrick Evans 　　 　　CELLOS 　　Susan Norton 　　Christopher Humphrys 　　Elias Sakalak 　　Sandra Ojeba Hernandez Fabiola 　　 　　DOUBLE BASS 　　George Arnis 　　 　　Produced by Stavros Lantsias 　　Music production by Stavros Lantsias & Alexis Grapsas 　　Mixed & Mastered by Rich Breen at Dogmatic, Burbank, CA, U.S.A 　　 　　Piano, Drums, Bass, Oboe, Flute & Clarinet recorded at Firehouse Recording Studio, Pasadena, CA, U.S.A 　　Recorded by Rich Breen 　　Assisted by Ed Woolley 　　 　　Strings & Soprano Saxophone recorded at Megaron 　　Recording Studio (“Dimitris Mitropoulos” concert hall), Athens, Greece 　　Recorded by Nikos Espialidis 　　Additional recording by Bobby Blazoudakis & Andreas Mantopoulos 　　Assisted by Alexander Aretaios & Yiorgos Mathioudakis 　　Digital Editing by Bobby Blazoudakis & Tim Hatayama 　　 　　Cretan Lyra recorded at City Studios, Nicosia, Cyprus 　　Recorded by Simon Allen 　　 　　Cover Artwork by Stella Lantsia
