ltm release the brand new cd album by the french impressionists, the modernist ensemble associated with postcard records and les disques du crepuscule. the french impressionists first emerged in 1981 via the postcard records school, when founder / pianist malcolm fisher made his first recordings with members of aztec camera and the jazzateers. a more permanent line-up released a selection of songs on les disques du crepuscule, as well as christmas single 'santa baby', and found lasting success in japan. in 2007 the group, now based in milan (italy), released a well-received new album, 'fete'. for the third french impressionists album, malcolm fisher has joined forces with gifted italian singer sara cicenia, setting the poems of amelia rosselli to original piano music. born in paris in 1930, amelia rosselli was the daughter of anti-fascist resister carlo rosselli, assassinated by mussolini's agents. she spent her life studying ethnomusicology and taking part in the cultural life of postwar italy as a literary translator and poet, the latter work marked by bold verbal combinations and deliberate linguistic error. she committed suicide in rome in february 1996. the deluxe booklet features a selection of original images by malcolm fisher, and the text of several of the poems.
