This was released in May on Cascavelle and completely slipped by me.

Would be interested in hearing Adriano's thoughts on it.

Listened to the album and found it very enjoyable, mainly Une Vie d'Artiste and Mélodie from Cinq pièces dans le style du passé.

I remember reading in a biography about Strong that he composed certain pieces to capture specific emotions which he believed couldn't be depicted in his watercolors.
