favorite brummel song

[sadmachine]

Is "Marcha Funebre" a cover? If so, does anyone know the original artist/definitive recording?

Thanks

not exactly a cover, but he set words to the melody of maurice ravel's "pavane pour une infante defunte."

as for a definitive recording, i'm not sure. here's a bunch:

jean-yves thibaudet's performance on his ravel album is very nice, but it's the only one i've heard. the emi classics series is always a sure bet, though, if you want some orchestral works thrown in, too.

being a terrible navigator of the internet and the least technical person ever, I've hardly gotten ahold of any of this stuff.  however, I do have view of the sea, which is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[Nordel]

Yes. I dare say that View of the Sea is the best Daniel Brummel's solo work. Well, I guess there's also Sao Paulo, and of course his contraband stuff. Mystery of the Cathedral is up there too.

i am partial to view of the sea as well.
