Description
Few things are as beautiful as the fall of an autumn leaf and the changing hues of a distant landscape. Nature and the seasons are beautifully captured in André’s Seasons, from the tales whispered by the Vienna Woods, to the beautiful spring blossoms from Japan (Sakura), and Ceylon (the Lakmé “Flower Duet”, forever entrenched in our minds thanks to its use in the British Airways commercials!). Roses get pride of place too! Birds flit across the landscape in the form of village swallows (Strauss) and gliding swans (Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saëns) to the mythical Australian ‘thorn bird’. No “seasons” anthology would be complete without Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, from which we here the quiet musings of Winter, and the CD is rounded off with a Christmas perennial – Winter Wonderland.
