Ringing the Bell Backwards is a collection of European folk and popular songs of the 1930's and 40's radically rearranged by Paul Grabowsky. Evoking memories not only of Piaf Lynn Dietrich but also of an era; of a world tearing itself a apart in conflicts of huge and terrible ideas this is new music arising from the memory of the old. It is a statement about love and war about the legacy of Fascism and the unquenchable spirit of the individual. First recorded in 1994 this is the newly re-mastered version of the work that launched the Australian Art Orchestra all those years ago.
