Miles '54: The Prestige Recordings

Walkin' (Remastered 2024)

"La Double échelle" (The Double Ladder), an opéra-comique in one act with music by Ambroise Thomas (1811–1896), premiered in Paris on 23 August 1837. Thomas's first opera produced, the work achieved notable success, playing for 247 performances before being dropped from the repertory. The story is a lighthearted farce involving two suitors using separate ladders to woo their beloved. Much is owed to Rossini and Auber here, not just in the subject but the music itself; the 26-year-old Thomas has not yet developed his original voice, but his masterful orchestration is already starting to materialize. The overture begins with a rustically elegant minuet, which gives way to a sinuous cello melody above pizzicato strings; brief recapitulations are followed by a jaunty Allegro carried through varied orchestral textures. World premiere recording. This orchestral realization was created using Finale 27 and NotePerformer 4.

The two songwriters, Dawn Landes (US) and Piers Faccini (UK) met in 2013 when they recorded a Lead Belly song for Faccini's cover project, Songs I Love. Later that year, Piers invited Dawn to France to perform in a 12th Century Romanesque Chapel in the remote Cevennes region of the south of France near Piers' home and studio. Inspired by their first experience of performing together, they met up a few months later to write and record the intimate suite of songs that would become the EP, Desert Songs.

The bare autumnal skies and rugged mountainous landscapes provided the perfect backdrop for their collaboration. In between sessions, they walked the footpaths in the hills around the studio, swopping tales of the mystics and seekers that inspired the stories and lyrics in Desert Songs. Where Dawn would quote the Desert Fathers or Thomas Merton, Piers would would cite Sufi poets Rumi and Hafez or the poems of St John of the Cross. Dawn and Piers wove the arrangements together using the rich collection of instruments in Piers's studio, a Malian Kora, a 1930's National resonator guitar, West African percussion and an Indian dulcimer and tampura. Back in her Brooklyn studio a month later, Dawn recorded drum parts with Ray Rizzo. Desert Songs was then mixed in NYC by Pat Dillet.

Both songwriters have released critically acclaimed albums to their names, Piers Faccini’s most recent album Songs of Time Lost was in NPR’s top 10 world music albums of the year as well as in Songlines UK’s 10 best albums of 2014. Dawn’s most recent album Bluebird won the 2015 IMA award for “Folk/Singer-Songwriter album of the year” and featured guest appearances by Norah Jones and members of Bon Iver. In 2015 she was invited to give a TED Talk and perform in Lincoln Center’s prestigious American Songbook Series.

Desert Songs will be released by Beating drum on January 15th 2016 in Europe and in North and South America by Six Degrees.
