“To read their stories felt to me the way I suspect other people feel hearing jazz for the first time,” recalls Curtis Sittenfeld of her initial encounter with the Best American Short Stories series. “They were windows into emotions I had and hadn’t had, into other settings and circumstances and observations and relationships.” Decades later, Sittenfeld was met by the same feeling selecting the stories for this year’s edition.

THE ROOFTOP STORIES is San2 & Sebastian's second studio album and shows the great variety of both musicians. San2 has grown as a singer and harmonica player.

Actor, broadcaster and comedian Alexander Armstrong stars as narrator in this irresistible album of world premiere recordings, which revels in the magical colours of childhood memories. Not Now, Bernard is an all-time classic story by David McKee, set to music by Bernard Hughes (b.1974) with melodic charm and a subversive sense of fun. Alexander Armstrong recounts it along with companion piece Isabel's Noisy Tummy as well as Hughes's The Knight Who Took All Day, which challenges chivalric convention with its subversive story of female empowerment. Conductor Tom Hammond and members of the Orchestra of the Swan shape compelling interpretations, enriched by Armstrongs gleeful narration. They also raise a riot of sound in Malcolm Arnolds Toy Symphony (1957), complete with quail cuckoo, guards whistle and gloriously irritating toy trumpets. The albums mood darkens in John Irelands haunting melodrama Annabel Lee, a spine-tingling setting of Edgar Allan Poes final poem presented here in Bernard Hughess specially arranged chamber version, before Armstrong breezes through Judith Weirs brilliant Thread! (1981), an early work inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry's cartoonish images.
