John Hackett - Velvet Afternoon

Last year I heard about a CD from local resident and flute teacher John Hackett featuring his own compositions played on flute and piano. I had a listen to the CD and decided it was well worth stocking.
The various flute pieces on this CD have been written over the past twenty years. One of them was used as the theme music for a BBC Radio 4 programme called Just Three Wishes Imagine swinging dreamily in a hammock on a sunny afternoon with a chilled drink nearby and you get the general picture.
Priced at a modest £9-99, this is well worth exploring.

Bach and Beyond

Three Centuries of Organ Chorales

This is a CD played by Andrew Linn on the Goetze and Gwynn Organ at St Matthew’s, Carver Street, Sheffield

As well as Andrew Linn the CD also features Viva Voce, of whom good things have been heard according to someone who attended a recent concert.

Much of the music on the CD is by Bach, either his own compositions or else his harmonisations.
The disc also includes the final work by Johannes Brahms O World, I must leave thee one of a set of 11 Chorale Preludes.

Henrik Linnemann

I've known Henrik for a few years and had heard that he'd made a CD - "Journeys from Nether Edge" - a collection of Jazz pieces inspired by scenes in Sheffield and the surrounding area. It's not necessary to know Sheffield to enjoy this CD.

Currently out of stock, but I am awaiting new pressings.
