Walking, piano and voice...

Playlist

Various Artists - Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection 2016 Vols 1-52
Schubert - Die Schöne Müllerin
Krauze - Piano Works

A walk in the sun down to Stockbridge today...

...where this was picked up at Oxfam for just ninety nine of your English New Pence...

I'm not a great fan of classical singing but, if I'm in the right mood, this is quite beautiful...

Back up the hill...

At home, this had arrived - inspired by a classical music reviewing Twitterchum from Austria resident in the US, I downloaded two piano concertos by Mr Krauze just over a week ago - and included a piece in last week's podcast - mistakenly advising he stems from Deutschland rather than Poland...

Oops..

This is very good indeed - if a quite a bit less tuneful than the Schubert disc...

Post listening and ripping, "Scott & Bailey" continued on its mission to entertain on a Wednesday night...

Highlight of the Day : New piano music...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
