- orchestra of the swan: echoes
(2023, cd, uk, signum records)
Completing the cycle of mixtape albums, ECHOES is our third album on Signum Classics. Featuring works by artists including JS Bach, Philip Glass and Frank Zappa and some new arrangements by Artistic Director, David Le Page.
“Although you can listen to each track in isolation Echoes is, first and foremost, a complete journey; the way a work ends and another begins is designed to create a frisson, a jolt of recognition or a feeling of surprise and satisfaction. Echoes explores landscape, light, water, dreams, birth and the slowly changing rhythm of the seasons; it also represents a callback to the days of vinyl when the act of listening to recordings was necessarily more involved and required all of your attention… Despite the ongoing march of music technology and the death of various beloved formats the mixtape has somehow survived and adapted It is unaccountably more popular than it has ever been” – David Le Page

A very beautiful album with a very fine version of FZ's 'Peaches En Regalia'.
Out on CD and available for download/streaming through several digital platforms.
I already received my CD copy a couple of days ago but the official release date is the 12th of May, so the digital platform version may not be available yet.
