The album saw a reunion of the band with Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford and Terence Sullivan coming together to record this album at Astra Studios in Kent. The sessions also featured an appearance by keyboard player John Tout on ‘Pearls of Wisdom’, ‘Dear Landseer’ and ‘Dolphins Prayer’, the latter two songs also featuring guest Roy Wood (who also appeared on ‘Life in Brazil’). The band was further augmented by keyboard player Mickey Simmonds.

Following the release of the album, in March 2001, Renaissance travelled to Japan to perform three concerts with a band which featured Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford, Terence Sullivan along with Rave Tesar (piano and additional keyboards), Mickey Simmonds (keyboards) and David Keyes (bass guitar). A concert in Tokyo on 16th March was recorded and later issued as the double CD set ‘In the Land of the Rising Sun – Live in Japan 2001’.

This new edition of ‘Tuscany’ features both the classic studio album and ‘In the Land of the Rising Sun’.
