Manon Galy - Nuits parisiennes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals). The pair were so inspired by listening to the likes of Scott Walker, early Bowie, and David Axelrod, that they recorded this album of twelve full-blooded songs, bold and brassy, full of drama, wit, and melody. The orchestration of the tracks was recorded by the 22-piece London Metropolitan Orchestra. Look for this duo on select US dates in September with full band and a large string section.

After their first recording, Nuits parisiennes, Manon Galy and Jorge Gonzalez Buajasan open the door to the inner worlds of Romanticism. Surrounding Mendelssohn's rare Sonata in F major MWV Q 26 (his only mature violin sonata), Brahms's Second, and Grieg's Third are a few poetic and intimate gems, such as Sibelius's Berceuse and Fibich's Poème. Between Inchmelancholy waltz and languorous vertigo,Inch violin and piano become the exalted yet nostalgic voice of the composers' most personal confidences.
