Past Forward is an album of world-premiere recordings showcasing the gifts of Greek Cypriot composer Constantinos Y. Stylianou (b. 1972).

Alongside two emblematic viola concertos of the time, those by Hoffmeister and Stamitz, this album includes the 1802 transcription for viola of Mozart’s A major clarinet concerto.
