Rock Gently

Somewhere back in the hazy beginnings of my life I must have been warned: "Beware of albums from the Sixties and Seventies whose titles are imperatives."

Because somehow, on buying an album like this, you accept that some, or even most of it, is going to be unlistenable. (How did anyone ever listen to it for pleasure?)

Then you listen to the Sergio Mendes-influenced version of Fur Elise and you find yourself remarkably forgiving.

Aria (Bach) - (Allan Moorhouse, 1973)

Fur Elise (Beethoven) - (Allan Moorhouse, 1973)
