Catherine King - In Chains of Gold Box Set - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Peyote Dance, by Soundwalk Collective with Patti Smith, is the first in a triptych of albums, collectively titled The Perfect Vision, to be released over the next year. Each take their inspiration from the writings of three emblematic French poets Antonin Artaud, Arthur Rimbaud and René Daumal, and their necessity to travel to different lands to acquire a new vision and perspective on themselves and their artwork. Recorded in the Sierra Tarahumara of Mexico, The Peyote Dance, retraces Artaud's footsteps.

Unanimously acclaimed by her peers, the music-loving public and the press, French pianist Catherine Collard (1947-1993) died far too soon. The memories of her concerts, master classes and generosity are still very much alive today. The recordings made for Erato and EMI gathered here bear witness to her exceptional talent.

During the 1990s, Collegium Musicum 90 and Simon Stand age released several volumes of Albinoni concertos, which proved popular with critics and public alike. In this re-issue on the Chaconne tag, the concertos are presented in opus number order, showing the contrasting colors and tonalities of the concertos as they originally appeared.
