2CD set which features a selection of recordings made between October 2022 and October 2025.

A master of melody, texture, and atmosphere, Anthony Phillips -- composer, guitarist, and pianist -- presents Gemini: Pieces for Piano, a 2-CD collection of exquisite new compositions written and recorded between 2022 and 2025. Described by Phillips as his finest keyboard work since Soirée (1999), the album takes its title from his celebrated piece Gemini, written for world-renowned pianist Martha Argerich, who premiered it in 2018. The collection is both intimate and expansive, a deeply expressive journey through Phillips's most evocative and personal piano writing to date.

As a founding member of Genesis alongside Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips helped define the earliest sound of British progressive rock, contributing to the albums From Genesis to Revelation and Trespass. After leaving the band in 1970, he studied orchestration and harmony at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama, before embarking on a distinguished solo career marked by innovation and craft. His debut, The Geese & The Ghost (1977), featured contributions from Rutherford and Phil Collins and established his reputation as a composer of rare lyrical sensitivity.

Over the decades, Phillips has built an extraordinary catalog that includes landmark albums such as Wise After the Event, Sides, 1984, Slow Dance, and Field Day, along with the long-running Private Parts & Pieces and Missing Links series. His versatility extends far beyond the studio--he has composed acclaimed music for film, television, and documentaries, often in collaboration with percussionist Joji Hirota, for projects including Lifeboat and Midway: Island of Life.

More recently, Phillips has worked closely with Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings label to reissue his extensive back catalogue in definitive editions, earning the Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award at the Progressive Music Awards in recognition of the series' exceptional quality.

Gemini: Pieces for Piano represents a new creative peak in this storied career -- a luminous, contemplative, and beautifully recorded work that reflects both Phillips's lifelong passion for the piano and his enduring ability to craft music of emotional depth and timeless grace.
