這張專輯的演奏家寫道:＂選擇給我們的專輯(月球之路)的曲目時, 我們想要探索將一個節目結合起來的各種可能的方式. 將不同的作品並列在一起是一個帶出每一件作品新奇和不尋常特質的好方法. 視覺藝術家威廉.T.霍頓(William T. Horton)幻想的 這張專輯封面圖(月球之路)立即引發許多的想法, 其中包含以夜晚和月亮為主題的作品, 還有讓人想起人類登月之旅探索的作品. 1959年, 在人類製造的第一個物體接觸月球表面兩年之後, 布列頓寫下他的給大提琴與鋼琴奏鳴曲. 在所有的歷史與文化中, 人類都被月亮吸引並從其中獲得靈感, 因此我們試圖在從兼容並蓄的歌曲曲目選擇中反映出這一點: 從武滿徹(Toru Takemitsu)到妮娜.西蒙(Nina Simone)和從莉莉.鮑蘭潔(Lili Boulanger)到佛羅倫斯.普萊斯(Florence Price). 正如我們希望您能在這張專輯中聽到喬治.沃克(George Walker)的大提琴奏鳴曲響徹著藍調與爵士聲音世界的迴音和充滿了美麗的抒情意味. 我們真正相信沃克的大提琴奏鳴曲值得成為室內音樂曲目的主要部份而且非常興奮的在我們探索月球之路的背景下提供您這張錄音專輯.＂
The performers write: 'Selecting the repertoire for our album Path to the Moon, we wanted to explore a number of possibilities for binding together a programme. To place different works alongside one another is a wonderful way of bringing out new and unusual qualities in each piece. William T. Horton's fantastic image The Path to the Moon immediately inspired a flurry of ideas, including works on the subjects of both night and the moon, as well as pieces which invoke the exploratory nature of humankind's voyage to the moon. Britten wrote his Sonata for Cello and Piano only two years after the first object made by humans had touched the surface of the moon, in 1959. Humans throughout history and from all cultures have been drawn to and taken inspiration from the moon and we have tried to reflect this in our eclectic choice of song repertoire: from Toru Takemitsu to Nina Simone and from Lili Boulanger to Florence Price. As we hope you will hear on this album, Walker's Cello Sonata rings with echoes of the sound-worlds of blues and jazz and is infused with a beautiful lyricism. We really believe that Walker's Cello Sonata deserves to become a staple of the chamber music repertoire and are absolutely thrilled to offer you a recording of it in the context of our own exploration of a path to the moon.'
