Didier Malherbe Fluvius Tangram 852 492|| 1994 || £11.49  $ € ¥  + p+p +tax Click for big pic SORRY - CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE Water brought musically to life - brilliant An amazing musical journey based on the life cycle of water. From 'La Source' through it's babbling brook stage to waterfalls and the meandering grandure of a mature river. Then on to the ocean and eventual evaporation and 'Retour aux Sources'. This is a rich musical and life affirming suite of pieces that rewards repeated listenings. Saying that a musical project of Didier's is excellent has almost become a cliché, but it's a cliché that I'm happy to repeat. Wonderful, great melodies, playful, experimental and totally and appropriately fluid. Captures all the various moods of the element perfectly. Track Listing: Total Runtime 51.39 La Source 4.40 (D.
