Title: MK and The Foundation Fhilharmonic Orchestra
Post by: am012513 on August 11, 2008, 05:49:42 PM

I have a (sort of) bootleg (rarities collection) where MK plays a version of BIA with the Foundation Fhilharmonic Orchestra.
Does anybody knows if there are more recordings from these session?

I think there is a cd from a London Orchestra that plays Dire Straits but I can't  find it , suggestions

Ye Gods, Henk, will you share it?   I think that the London Orchestra you refer to is London Twilight Orchestra.  The Story of Dire Straits volumes 1 and 2.   PM me for further discussions!   :)

I suspect that the version of BIA with  The Foundation Orchestra is the one from the Montserrat Concert.  I may be wrong, but some of the other songs are from that concert too!  (All of the ones with the artist in red).

yep, this is Montserrat,...99% certain.
and therefore semi-official, if not totally official....

So I assume this is official stuff , didn't know it. ::)
I have never had attention for Montserrat .
Maybe this topic need to be removed or not ? Don't know...

Yeah, Montserrat was a great show. I have the "complete" show on VHS, recorded off Sky the night after the concert, alos features some nice interviews with MK. JVT has it on his site but I need to get around to transferring it (someday).
