Looks
like I haven't posted this pan pipe player yet, so let's shine the spotlight on
this rockin' instrument! Of course pan pipes [so named for the satyr of Greek myth] came to global prominence back in
1975 with Peter Weir's ethereal 'Picnic at Hanging Rock'. Gheorghe Zamfir’s hypnotic
pieces perfectly matched the other-worldly mood of the fillum. So much so, that
I actually bought the soundtrack album. To be honest, it didn’t get played much
- separated from the sumptuous visuals it didn’t bear repeated listening. And a
whole album from this undoubtedly talent performer would be a bigger challenge
than I would willingly face…
