    Klavierstuck 1 to X1.



    Can't pretend that I Really understand this at its deepest levels, but its a nice change from Xmas carols.

        What a diverse sounding instrument the recorder is!

        I subsequently listened to Along the shores of Lorn, whose latter day setting is infused not unappealingly, with something of the atmospheres of The Sorcerer's Apprentice and The Miraculous Mandarin I thought.

          The inherent danger in driving in the middle of the road - namely the likelihood of an accident with vehicles driving on either side thereof - has long since made me wonder why the term "middle of the road" has been used to describe certain kinds of music...

Don't miss his Talisker - it's a prime example of his exceptional facility for sonic invention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CDkZ6TdHHQ

                  That is seriously good. I will come back to it again - thanks for posting it.

                  So sad that he died quite young from that wicked disease.

                          I am veering towards the Col Legno.

                          at the end of a long self imposed buying ban.

                          which would you and your cheque book advise?

                              I'm not familiar with the work, so I can't say. I've always found Col Legno releases to be quite good. Tidy little label

                                Is this only available as a download? No physical discs available?
