Dynamic Watercolours

Watercolours have always been the poor relation of oil painting. And yet the immediacy and freedom of painting in watercolours have made them the art of adventure and action - even war. It has been an art form the British have pioneered, at first celebrating the greatest landscapes of Europe and then recording the exotic beauty of the British Empire.

ABC Classic is proud to be releasing the music from this magical cinema experience: Nigel Westlake’s evocative orchestral score to the feature film Blueback, based on the novel by Tim Winton. Performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Benjamin Northey, Westlake’s music captures in all its richness the vastness and mystery of the ocean, the intimate touch of water on skin, the unique colours of underwater light and a profound sense of love and wonder.

The Roxbox (Roxette 86-06) is a boxed set compilation by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 18 October 2006 by Roxette Recordings and Capitol.
