Bells and The Turning Year

Roger Eno is not the kind of artist that most radio stations share. Quite the contrary, his music is played in only very few radio shows. In Portugal, I can remember that only António Sérgio played Roger Eno's records and then, I can only remember Ricardo Mariano during his monthly radio shows "Vidro Azul / Blue Glass" that we can listen to in these podcasts anytime. Some weeks ago, Ricardo played some of Roger's last works as shown in this blog, released by the legendary Deutsche Grammophon only months ago. The musical pieces are "Bells (with Voices)" sung by Roger's daughters Cecily Eno and Lotti Eno, "Bells" and "The Turning Year". These are pearls, enjoy with care.

Bells are ringing, for the protection of nature, that so many are destroying it w no mercy. Bells does not have to say it in order for this link to appears in our mind. This reading of such an intense and balanced song, with such a beautiful designed video, is following the silence of a noisy forest, and at the sametime giving the voice for it. I felt the emotions of Enos, much more than an incredible and surprised song and singers. It is a full touch with a strong overall message, that I could not ignore. The nature is clearly Enos Home, our home, and their song is a bless, for our soul. Thanks for this sharing. E.

Thank you Asperezas, and again for sharing your more than excellent taste and knowledge on music.

These are indeed pearls.
We need voices, w message and emotions. In this the overall scenario made a strong approach to the insanity of destroying what is there, also for us.
Best.E.
