This week’s selection from the Podcast Vault launches our look back at a series of montages that form what I will call our travelog series dedicated to music about places and countries we have often programmed during the summer months over the years.

Today’s montage doesn’t talk about a place but rather about a state of mind: the need to get away; for pleasure, for necessity, or for whatever reason. The triptych Escales by Jacques Ibert is indictive of the works that are part of this week’s montage, as well as a few “popular” tracks featuring the Beatles and Joe Cocker.

As filler, I chose a Canadian piece by composer Denis Gougeon simply called “A l’aventure” which, loosely translated would mean “Adventure Awaits”. Oto s a modern piece, woth all the trappings that come along with contemporary music, and conducted by Walter Boudreau, a specialist in that kind of repertoire.

I think you will (still) love this music too.
