occasion. Overdubs were seldom in the age of Rudy Van Gelder- and Orrin Keepnews-produced sessions, which were sacrosanct in their on-the-spot nature. But by 1963 it was clear that very, very few people could play the way Evans did. Once he had himself to play along with, it was abundantly clear why he was so singular a musical mind. The melodies here fit together like two sets of fingers making a cradle, and Evans dances the lines, flows them irregularly and entangles them so as to paint himself into constant binds. Then he escapes the binds, as artfully as he had done on Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby with the legendary trio of himself, bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. This is rightly one of jazz piano's most enchanted recordings. --Andrew Bartlett

Advantages: Bewitching performances from Thibaudet, ECO, et al., of Marianelli's gorgeous music, inspired by LvB. Disadvantages: Too short! I want more!
...recapitulates all the major themes already heard.
Led by the composer-conductor Benjamin Wallfisch (who also did the orchestrations; Wallfish is an incredibly young prodigy born in 1979!), the English Chamber Orchestra's exceptional renditions can sound wholly authentic to the period (as in the dances and 'Postcard to Purcell'), or unabashedly sensual (everything else). Bravo to their vital and spirited performances! Recording is done with a flawless clarity and an airiness so that the music, like the film, seems to surround the listener, to pleasing advantage.
One must mention the crucial role of the keyboard artist in this piano-rich score. Mr Jean-YvesThibaudet's bewitching interpretations border on quiet heartbreak and melancholy - when they aren't filling you with an intense inner joy. This soundtrack has made a quick Thibaudet fan...

Advantages: Moving, beautiful harmonies and solos. Disadvantages: Not everyone likes jazz
...Over the years my taste in different jazz styles has changed, but BillEvans still stands out as one of my favourite musicians; the artist who originally enticed me into the world of Jazz, and whose work has significantly affected my own style as a Jazz pianist. Recoded in 1981, ‘You Must Believe Ins Spring’ contains pieces of a less upbeat and syncopated style than that of his earlier work, and instead more flowing, beautiful pieces, played with the heart-felt lyricism for which Evans is renowned. Sticking to a jazz trio form, (piano with drums and double bass), Evan’s creates the perfect atmosphere in each piece through subtle textures and natural, unspoken collaboration with his fellow musicians. Being a huge fan of Evans I may appear somewhat biased in his favour; the album is after all one my favourite. But anyone who has some...

Advantages: Smooth, elegant piano music Disadvantages: None whatsoever
...The Magic of Satie is a stunning collection of piano works composed by the French composer, Erik Satie (1866-1925), and eloquently performed by the French pianist, Jean-YvesThibaudet.
Most people will associate Satie with Gymnopédie his best-known piece, which has become very popular from its use in numerous film scores including Corina, Corina, Dinner with Andre and the Royal Tennabaums and of course the advert for Bournville Selection, so much so that his many other works are often forgotten. This magnificent album demonstrates Satie's extensive capabilities and gives a sense of his character.
Satie, notorious for his gray velvet suit and bowler hat, composed the majority of his numerous piano compositions reflecting the French elegance and somewhat melancholic style prevalent at the time. Satie, however, was also an eccentric...
