The playing is superb!
But don't just take my word for it, go ahead a buy a copy.
Ah! vous dirai-je maman - (I beleive Mozart wrote the lyrics for his mother, although after his time the tune was used with the different but more familier 'twinkle twinkle little star' version). But don't worry, no singing on this album!
Catherine Perrin demonstrates how this simple tune can be performed with increased complication, ornamentation, and interest ....and that's only the first 9 minutes! The rest is even more wonderful! : )
(The quality of reproduction is very close and just about perfect imo)

You are at it again.
Whats it like?
Munch

Her album exerts are right here on web site - please click

and her MySpace is is here, please click

She's somewhere between Alanis Morissette and Cara Dillon, but with an identity of her own. However, I've no idea where her hat is.

Have n't played it for a few days....

Gaspard Le Roux, Pieces Pour Deux Clavecins

Those 1705 suites were among the very first compositions for two harpsichords. This music was enormously successful throughout Late Baroque, to the point of being pirated in Amsterdam.

Played with great talent by Mitzi Meyerson and Lisa Crawford.

They don't come much better than this...

Released in 1976 on the JAPO/ECM label. Japanese only release. Worth checking out. Enrico Rava - Quotation Marks

PETER GABRIEL - UP

Genesis - Encore Series Release of Old Trafford 7/7/07 Gig. Two-CD set of the complete and unedited concert recorded from the soundboard and mixed by the Genesis engineering team.

I have three copys of this album.
The normal cd the not for sale promo with a extra track and the 200g vinyl.
I quite like it a bit
Munch

Yes, I think this is one of his best releases. I recently got the vinyl as well. Just waiting to get my turntable now. Hopefully we will get another release from Gabriel soon but I am not holding my breath.

That is a nice pic of the gig.
But last years tour was nothing like what has gone before.
I am one of there bigest fans and have been since 1970 seen them loads every line up even the gig when they all got back to gether again at Milton K.
Even they said that was a horrid gig.
Some things are better left in ones head.
Now Peter Gabriel last tour was something else.
Discs off the desk for all those and you got to choose what he played live on his site for each gig.
And he did what was posted for every gig.
Not many bands would do that.
Genesis holds a place in my head and heart and i have all there albums on cd and again on vinyl up to Duke after that it had to stop for me.

I have everything Genesis has done vinyl and CD. I grew up on the band. The gig last year was superb when they did In The Cage, Cinema Show, Afterglow, Firth of Fifth, I Know what I like, Los Endos and Carpet Crawlers - all the old stuff. Worth seeing just for that.

I was at the Six of the Best Milton Keynes Gig on October 2nd 1982, when Gabriel came out on stage in the coffin and they did Suppers Ready as well that night. All that mud and the rain. A night I will always remember. Missed the last train home......
