I’ve been listening the The Snow Goose (‘music inspired by’ to put a fine point on it!) – Camel. For me, it’s always a joy and delight and it never gets old. There’s just something about this music – it seems to resonate on the very same frequency as Paul Gallico’s novella – quite how, I have no idea. Inspired, in the true sense of the word!
I have loved the story since I first read it (which was a scarily long time ago) and I see it unfold in my mind’s eye every time I listen. Who needs a movie?? I’ve noticed that some comments on YT and various other places criticise the album for lack of flow, being disjointed, that sort of thing but then I think that those people cannot possibly know the book, for if they did, they might understand just how faithful this musical counterpart really is.
