Flavien Gillié ~ Encore Un Peu De Ce Monde

Delphine Dora, Bruno Duplant, Paulo Chagas ~ Onion Petals As Candle Lights

We last heard Delphine Dora on her solo piano album, A Stream of Consciousness, and the new album is about as far afield from the former work as can be imagined.  No, it’s not Nordic black metal, apologies for underestimating your imagination!  The
