2-CD set box with illustrated sound guide of garden birds. "Who has never dreamt of speaking with birds ? Although this is impossible, it’s possible for everyone to become acquainted with the musical world of our small friends of the air, and to identify each species. This boxed set invites the listener to discover the songs and calls of 69 species of parks and gardens in Europe. Gérard Rocamora, ornithologist, explains all that one needs to know about bird song, and especially how to identify each species. Many coloured drawings and photographs accompany the text. At the end of each CD, a series of sound atmospheres allows the listener to test his acquired knowledge. The recordings (of François Charron and the BBC) were made in France, Great Britain and Spain. Examples of musical transcriptions and sonograms were made specially for the CD by professors of music at Nottingham university. A tremendous opportunity to enter into the rich world of bird sounds". Alain BOUGRAIN DUBOURG. Includes a 68 page booklet with both French and English notes.
