Sofia, Melanie, Amanda, and August von Trapp are the actual great grandchildren of Baron & Maria Von Trapp, made famous by the 1965 film The Sound of Music. These siblings (ages 18 25) have been singing together for 12 years, and have toured all over the world in concert. Drawn into the magical orbit of Thomas Lauderdale, they now live together in a house in Portland, Oregon and have been frequent guest performers with Pink Martini for the past two years. This delightful new collaboration features Pink Martini s beloved little orchestra fronted by the beautiful crystalline four-part harmonies of the singing siblings, traveling through a wonderland of Lauderdale s brilliant arrangements. Pink Martini presents the first major international release by the four sensational singing greatgrandchildren of Baron & Maria von Trapp, the real-life subjects of The Sound of Music. 

Fifteen songs from all over the world, from Japan, Sweden and Rwanda to France and Ireland. World-famous Irish supergroup The Chieftains appears on August von Trapp's original song Thunder. The legendary Wayne Newton leads a rousing version of Lonely Goatherd with help from Columbus Zoo Director and regular late-night talk show guest Jack Hanna!

In a duet that crosses the threshold of fantasy and reality, Charmian Carr (the actress who played Liesl in The Sound of Music) sings a touching version of Edelweiss.~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/Dream-Little-Pink-Martini/dp/B00HUQC4WE.

Although he achieved his greatest fame in France, singing French-language songs in a distinctly French style, singer/songwriter Georges Moustaki was more a citizen of the world or, as he often put it, a "citizen of the French language." Christening himself a cultural "mongrel" in his signature hit "Le Métèque," Moustaki's first love was the classic-style French chanson, but he often appropriated bits of world folk musics from Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Brazil (bossa nova and MPB), Argentina (tango), and other parts of Latin America, the United States (blues and jazz), Holland, and anywhere else his travels took him. Simplicity was a hallmark of many of his own recordings; possessed of a soft, warm voice, he often sang with only his own guitar for accompaniment, creating an intimacy that translated to his live gigs as well. A successful artist in his own right, Moustaki initially made his name as a songwriter of some renown, composing material for many of the top French singers of the late '50s and '60s (including Edith Piaf's classic "Milord"). He moonlighted as a poet, actor, novelist, and journalist at various points in his career, and remained one of France's more ambitious artists as his trademark beard and long, flowing hair turned white...More Bio ~Steve Huey http://www.allmusic.com/artist/georges-moustaki-mn0000647293/biography .

2008 return of a living legend. Produced by Vincent Segal (Bumcello, M, Agnes Jaoui). 9 new songs and 3 new versions of classics. Including duets with Stacey Kent, Vincent Delerm, Cali, Pink Martini, China Forbes.~Editorial Reviews http://www.amazon.com/Solitaire-Georges-Moustaki/dp/B00176I9W2 .
