Thank you, Anchusa! The cover looks like where I'm going... so hopefully the music will match! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this Anchusa, although by the cover I was expecting more of a "rural" or "bucolic" feel and it was a bit more "urban" than that ;) So maybe I'll try something else for my country voyage... :)
ReplyDeleteI was afraid you would find a certain mismatch there! But then not a lot of "serious" music composed in the second half of last century has much of a rural or bucolic feel to it.
ReplyDeleteThe next post will offer more in that vein, I think.
Yes, you've got to admit that that cover is pretty damned misleading! :-) Unless, of course, there's a gold mining industrial wasteland at that rainbow's end... Okay, better luck next time for me ;-)
