Movies and more

I caught Stuart Long doing a lighter piano concert than normal.  This was music of films and Satie and Glass and Nyman and Morricone and Ye.  Ye?  Yes, a tune from when he was Kanye West.  It a change from Prokofiev and Schubert and Beethoven that I'd heard from him before.  And from from the compositions of Alan Hinde that we'd recorded recently and that we will complete sometime soonish.  Some film tunes are deeply moving and melodically inviting, like Nyman form The Piano and Morricone from Cinema Paradiso.  Just lovely.  Then an encore from Sally Greenaway which was again lyrical and luscious.  Nice outing.

Stuart Long played film and other musics at Wesley.
