First recordings of the complete surviving keyboard works by a forgotten figure of the French Baroque.

Since the creation of the Paris Conservatoire in 1795, France has been considered the cradle of a line of flautists who were inspired by a pedagogy based on an excellent mastery of technique and the poetic aspect of sound. Later, in the 1840s, the instrument benefited from great scientific research and the making of the instrument underwent a great revolution.

Since 1830, teachers at the Paris Conservatory and French instrument makers ensured that the oboe established itself anew and increasingly as both an orchestral and popular solo instrument in France. This became particularly noticeable at the turn of the 20th century under the influence of Saint-Saëns, Franck, Vierne, Pierné, who wrote important works for woodwinds - precisely also for the oboe.

2010 two CD collection from the British Space Rock legends. Whilst the bulk of this release is made up of a live set recorded for the BBC in Concert program, it opens with a previously unreleased session recorded for Johnnie Walker featuring a shortened version of the Doremi Fasol Latido album classic 'Brainstorm' and a version of the hit single 'Silver Machine', featuring Lemmy on vocals as per the single. The in Concert itself, a hypnotic continuous performance, is presented in both mono and stereo versions. The mono version was previously released by Windsong on CD in 1991 and has been remastered and re-indexed to include all of the pieces originally performed, and the concert itself in it's entirety. The stereo version has long been in the domain of the bootleggers as an off air recording known the as "Broadcast" version. This mix was in fact distributed by the BBC for broadcast internationally. Apart from being in stereo, the sound quality is superior to the mono version and the mix is generally more exciting.
