Thanks for sto...Hello Again Michael,<br /> <br /> Thanks for stopping by. Glad you're curious about Sorabji. His music is often very impressionistic, dreamy and perfumed. Very special. As to the Faure, yes I love most of his songs and have recordings by Dame Janet Baker, Veronique Gens, and Dawn Upshaw to name a few.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064021788741350871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330857254114484063.post-48292593251578284562010-01-28T13:01:33.848-05:002010-01-28T13:01:33.848-05:00David -- Thanks so much for this music tip.

As depressing and infuriating as the present state of affairs in Iran is, music that conjures up glorious images of Persian culture and Isfahan roses -- now that's definitely my style. (Do you know Fauré's wonderful art song 'Les Roses d'Isfahan'? As sung by Barbara Hendricks, an absolute dream. As are all of Fauré's mélodies in the first place.<br />I'm going to track that CD down!<br />All the best,<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330857254114484063.post-62348085928984127532010-01-05T15:20:23.507-05:002010-01-05T15:20:23.507-05:00Hello Willow!

I watched Blow Up again recently and didn't like it as much as I did years ago. Did love what Herbie Hancock and friends did with the soundtrack. Happy New Year my dear.<br /><br />DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064021788741350871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330857254114484063.post-41941128056388195312010-01-05T11:38:20.566-05:002010-01-05T11:38:20.566-05:00Excellent review, David.
