About this product
Long awaited follow up to the InchTrue Story of Abner JayInch LP. Abner Jay was a man who had a grand sweeping vision of what folk music was. In his lifetime his expression of what folk music could be encompassed some serious stylistic variations. Sometimes he was a one man band traveling troubadour playing an electric banjo, harmonica, & drums who tried to hoodwink audiences into believing that he was 150 years old & the standard bearer for authentic Americana. Sometimes he played in electric straight up R&B bands such as InchKoko Joe & the JobhuntersInch.Culled from a mix of Abners' 45's & LPs spanning the period 1964 - 1973, including Abner's first LP. We hope that this will help to further the current wave of understanding that Abner Jay is an important artist who deserves a wider audience than he ever received during his lifetime.

![Anna Geniushene - Berceuse - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/a0dabd41-f3b9-4ff9-a16c-1bf93889023b.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
A unique and imaginative collection newly recorded by a recent star of the Van Cliburn Piano Competition. Anna Geniushene's fresh; layered; and powerful interpretations won her a worldwide following at the 2022 edition of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition; where she took Silver Medal with a stunning account of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto which the critic for Gramophone compared in it's power and nuance to Van Cliburn himself. Born in Moscow; Anna Geniushene pursued graduate studies in London and now lives in Lithuania with her husband; the pianist Lukas Geniusas. In her own booklet introduction; she explains the inspiration for this quirky collection of instrumental lullabies. The Berceuse is 'associated with tenderness; care; purest love; and the most sensitive moments in our lives.' She dedicates the album to her two young sons. Perhaps the most celebrated Berceuse of all; by Chopin; is missing; because it was Anna Geniushene's particular wish to find and share neglected examples of the genre; even by well-known composers. Debussy composed the Berceuse heroique during the First World War as a tribute to the soldiers on the Western Front. The Berceuse Elegiaque of Busoni is better known in it's orchestral guise. The brief Berceuse by Hindemith; unpublished in his lifetime; 'draws listeners' attention by it's utterly eloquent and typically sarcastic character; which has nothing in common with traditional lullabies.' The sheer diversity of composers makes for a continually varied sequence. George Crumb evokes a magical night-time stillness with a minimum of notes. Mompou's Berceuse is likewise remarkable for it's distilled serenity; whereas the examples by Granados; John Field and Liszt bring comfort with more Romantically moulded melodies in the tradition of Chopin. Anna Geniushene closes the album with two Russian Berceuses; by Shostakovich and T
