While working on my art - my collages of pixies and fairies, inspired by the most magical visit to my friend Pia's house in the wet English spring countryside - I had a memory of an album I loved, in my college days. It was Jean-Pierre Rampal & Claude Bolling: Suite for Piano and Flute. I remembered the cover so vividly: the most perfect fine san serif typeface, and a painting of a piano and flute in bed, the flute smoking a cigarette.. someone has posted the most classy video on youtube: just the original cover, and the record playing, in real time.
A gift from an unknown being, somewhere else in the world - which I pass on to you.

Oh my god, I absolutely love this Rampal and Bolling piece and listened to it so many times all those years ago. I had a good friend who was a flutist and Rampal fanatic. We would catch Rampal over at the Kennedy Center whenever he happened to have a concert (my family lived in the DC metro area at the time). This is such a trip down memory lane for me. Thank you for posting it!!!
And these pixie/fairie/swan photos are divine. Is this your friend, the film maker, Pia's woods? Love the imagery. I was actually thinking of my swan studio pics again just today because our director has been asking me to dance "Dying Swan" for our show again. It's kind of on our main repertoire as a crowd pleaser to squeeze in between acts, but I feel like I need to get back in shape to fit into the tutu! I may pass you another image and you can play with it again.
So glad I caught this post!
