Le Quatuor Romantique - Opera Fantasies from ShadowlandsLe Quatuor Romantique Opera Fantasies from Shadowlands

Mozart and traditional Cuban music

'Couples were smiling and dancing to tunes like Moonlight Serenade and In the Mood with a few polkas thrown in towards the end of the evening

their refined style that gradually reveals hidden depths

following his meeting with Mstislav Rostropovich

the clacking of summery claves

and so there were a number of big hits which were performed a cappella

which he has decided to play on four different keyboards: harpsichord

undeniable grooves and some of the most exhilarating guitar playing in any genre

With McLaughlin (guitar

and Rupert Vansittart (Holy Flying Circus)

The programme consists of a selection of exemplary pieces written between 1780 and 1818 by composers of different nationalities who are united by their diversity

This 56-track 2-CD set comprises a significant proportion of her A & B sides for Decca during this era
