The Tent Kealan Patrick Burke

This is the first album of the series by Maestro Patrick Gallois plays masterpieces for flute under the label VIRTUS CLASSICS. Here is a beautiful and charming collection of “morceaux de concours” (examination pieces) of the Paris Conservatory, starting from Faure in 1898 and the beginning of the 20th century.

This 3-CD SoulMusic Records’ set celebrates the recordings that Solomon Burke made for the legendary Atlantic Records label between 1960 and 1968. Solomon is generally acknowledged as one of the greatest soul singers to emerge during the genre’s golden days. He signed to Atlantic before ‘soul music’ became a bona fide sub-genre of African-American music and it was Solomon who helped define this new movement and he was, in fact, one of the first artists to use ‘soul’ to describe his music. He would eventually be known the world over as ‘The King of Rock and Soul’.
