Advantages: Gorgeous music, played with much passion Disadvantages: None really
, especially if the potential piece has real quality. How do we know if it is going to capture the audience's imagination if we don't even try?!
Fortunately the record company Hyperion have always had a great philosophy about bringing out recordings featuring unusual repertoire, and this CD is a prime example of this. Combined with a soloist, the cellist - Alban Gerhardt - and a conductor - Carlos Kalmar - both passionate proponents of the musical path less travelled, they've produced a fascinating recording which should hopefully achieve a lot in making these works better known.
Artists:
Cellist Alban Gerhardt is one of the top international cello soloists on the circuit today, with a very wide-ranging repertoire, appearing with such orchestras as the Berlin Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, BBC Scottish ...

It got to the stage that I had to on a regular basis take the old keyboard apart to fix it. So, I decided to splash out and purchase a new keyboard.
PRICE AND STORE
On going to Staples, the array of computer keyboards seemed to be endless, from the very cheap to the very expensive, but the Belkin Slim illuminated desktop set caught my eye, and at a very reasonable price of £14.99.
