Eternal echoes

Description

From the very first track, all enthusiasts will find similarities between Eternal Echoes, Returning Home, and the main theme of the film Out Of Africa. Who would complain? Composer of more than sixty soundtracks, including about ten for James Bond, John Barry remains a rare artist, and regularly immersing oneself in his music brings the greatest joy. Inspired by the work of Irish poet John Donahue, this musical biography, as described by its author, brings together eleven tracks featuring strings and brass. Some chord progressions instantly recall some of John Barry's greatest themes composed for cinema, while others, such as Slow Day with harmonica player Tommy Morgan or this Elegy that frolics in the fields of Ennio Morricone, open up to the light like new flowers. At nearly 70, Barry remains a composer of fascinating melodic modernity, with each recording adding to the body of work and the myth.
