It ran for eight consecutive years in the London West-End and was already acclaimed on Broadway in 1979. 'Evita' tells the lifestory of the passionate second wife of the Argentinian dictator Juan Peron. Eva Duarte was born in Los Todos in 1919. Her life was similar to that of Cinderella.

She died of cancer on 26 July 1952, only aged thirty-three and was buried as a national heroin. Even after her dead, she was the object of a lay cult with the poorer Argentinian population. Only the army and the aristocracy had always opposed her position next to the president.The story is told by a cynical young man called 'Che'. He envies Evita's success while he cannot sell his invention, a new kind of insecticide. The splendid selection was made and arranged by Marcel Peeters. You hear succesively'Overture', 'On this Night of a Thousand Stars', 'Eva beware of the City', 'Buenos-Aires', 'Goodnight and thank You', 'I'd be surprisingly Good for You', 'Another Suitcase in another Hall', 'Waltz for Eva and Che', and the evergreen 'Don't cry for me Argentina'.

£90.30Concerto for Trumpet - part 1 - Alfred Reed
The five movements of this concerto, each, by design, in a different musical style, and requiring the soloist to perform on the three main soprano bass instruments: Trumpet, Cornet and Fluegelhorn, were written to demonstrate the modern trumpeter's ability to negotiate and produce a convincing interpretation in five different musical styles. The first movement, 'Sonata' is cast in a typical neo classical mode, calling the soloist to perform on the Trumpet; the second, 'Slow Blues' calls for Fluegelhorn; the third, 'Jazz Waltz', calls for Cornet; the fourth; 'Song', a modern setting of an old Taiwanese folksong, calls for Trumpet again; and the fifth, 'Samba', concludes the work with a brilliant outburst of Latin American rhythms and colors.
