Spotted this thread and played a few Bizet songs from Ann Murray and Graham Johnson. Eg Le Grillon, a delightful virtuoso piece, supposedly inspired by Schubert's Der Einsame and the lullaby, Berceuse 'Sur un vieil air'.Comment

Re Django, Padraig, here's a nice wee bit of film about him and Grapelli.Originally posted by Padraig View Post
...and thanks for the Tati. Guaranteed to raise a smile. Don't forget 'L'Illusioniste', the animation made by Sylvan Chomet, based on one of Jacques Tati's screenplays - beautiful, sad film with brilliant images and great soundtrack.

Well, if we've got Jake Thackeray over on another thread, we'd better have the mighty Georges on here sharpish:
Friends First** - that'll never catch on...
[**just to forestall any Francophiles: " "Copains d'abord" is a play on words. Literally, it means 'Mates come first'. However it sounds like 'copains de bord' which means 'shipmates'. Thus the title could also be translated as 'Shipmates first and foremost'. I lifted this from correspondence by Lynton Cox of Maisons Laffitte specifically highlighting this double meaning."]Last edited by Globaltruth; 19-02-20, 14:52.Comment
