Extraordinary new recording features one of the most unusual and riveting
new works for violin & orchestra - the "
Taliban Dances" by Robert Ian Winstin.

In the "
Taliban Dances," Robert Ian Winstin has managed to fuse American
and Arabic elements into a uniquely "
American" sounding work.  (Most notable
is the third movement, "
Baghdad Bossa Nova," which features a slide whistle
("Incoming!") and the popping of balloons.

Also featured on this remarkable CD are Winstin's "
Three Pieces for Piano" &
"
Piano Attacks" (as played by the composer), "Normandy: June 6, 1944" -
Winstin's tribute performed at the 60th anniversary of D-Day at Omaha Beach
and "
Le Voyage Dans La Lune."
