Description:

Pearl Songs by an Australian ComposerCalvin Bowman is one of Australia's hidden talents. His artistic songs are true gems, sometimes reminiscent of the musical world of early 20th century English composers. This 2-CD set, his debut album, contains many of these beautiful works. The title "Real and Right and True" is taken from nine poems by the famous Australian cartoonist, writer, and painter Michael Leunick. Reunick's beautiful painting "Autumn Harvest" adorns the cover of the album. Universal Music/IMS
