Music For Grand Dining

A wonderful collection of some of the most delightful melodies of an age when society was rather indulgent in both style of entertainment and the musical selection chosen to accompany its grand style of dining. If you have experienced breakfast at Tiffany's, High Tea at Harrods, Dinner on board the Titanic, or Supper on the Zeppelin....This collection is for you. Immedietely you are transported to the grand era of where life moved a little slower and the finer movements were savoured a little longer. - The selection includes one of the finest - if not the finest - arrangements of the Blue Danube, Pachelbels Canon, La Paloma, Perfect Day, Danny Boy and real rare gems, whose composers are hardly known today. For the first years this CD was sold only locally, in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains in Australia (that's where the Three Sisters are) . Within 2 years more than one in a hundred of Blue Mountains people owned one (1300 copies sold - population 90 000). One of the top hotels in Katoomba copied our Cafe Continental and put it on a loop. We went in to listen and left after hearing it for the ninth time in a row. Today we were told, it is still playing, and everybody is well and healthy. As far as we could research the CD features only recordings of Told at Twilight (track 1) and the Song of Songs (track 6). The Blue Mountains Trio is based in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Australia. Members are Gustaw Szelski - violin / Georg Mertens (same as Mertens-Moussa 1990-2002) cello and Gavin Tipping - piano. Gustaw and Georg formed between them also the Paganini Duo (see CD Blue Mountains Gypsies) (The cello played by Georg on this CD is for sale {Adele Beardsmore 1995)
