Renowned composer Helen Grime makes her LSO Live debut with Woven Space. Originally beginning life as Fanfares, a single movement that opened This Is Rattle, the RPS Award-winning festival that marked Sir Simon’s start as Music Director of the London Symphony Orchestra, the work is inspired by the willow sculptures of artist Laura Ellen Bacon, which the composer discovered entwined among trees in the gardens of Chatsworth House.
Aptly titled, 'The Great Vocalists Of Jazz & Entertainment', culls 748 of the absolute finest recordings by top singers of the pre-rock era of the '30s, '40s & '50s. All recordings are digitally remastered and over 20 top names are featured, including Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne and Perry Como. Each artist has at least one disc devoted to solely to their repertoire; most have two (Billie & Frank deservedly have three apiece). Hou sed in a sealed, full color 5' x 6' x 8' box, it contains 20 double slimline jewelcases.
