French Wind Trios

Advantages: Good example of early 20th century French/European music. Cheap price
Disadvantages: Not distinct or ground-breaking enough

..., uplifting 3. Trio: Rondo: Tres Vif - One of my favourite pieces, a more distinct 'jolly' start. --- CONCLUSION --- Although Poulenc was one of the top French composers of the time, on the international stage he was being out-done in terms of popularity by American and Russian composers such as Copland and Stravinsky. I would have to say that his music although highly enjoyable and of high quality isn't distinctive or ground-breaking enough. For his merit I would say he is a perfect example of the music of that particular era, but history may not bear so well on his creations. He also manages to blend very well piano and wind instruments. If your into famous classical works than this may not be so much for you but if looking for something a bit more rare (not so much unusual though) it could be worth a look. Prices for Poulenc...

...---------------------------------------------------------- Omni Trio - Even Angels Cast Shadows ---------------------------------------------------------- It was around May this year when I found this album on iTunes.

...Alkanline Trio released this album in 2005 much to the joy off the vast majority of there fans. If you enjoy punk/rock/emo etc this album is defintely worth a look. I would also recommend it to other people who enjoy music. If you enjoy a vast erray of genres i would recommend this album. It is just "hard" enough to distinguish it from pop but is not heavy enough to burst your eardrums - thankfully. Alkaliine Trio have released another album this year called Remains which i personally didnt enjoy as much as this one. May just be me as i have lots of happy memories with this album, but if you have heard that album and enjoyed it definetly get this album. You can pick this album up really cheaply now its 2 years old. On itunes it is £7.99 however i suspect you can probably pick it up on somewhere such as ebay or amazon for alot... Read review
