21 Jaar na die bekendstelling van haar eerste album ‘Perd oor die maan’ kyk Laurinda terug na die verse wat sy oor die jare getoonset het. Die resultaat is ‘n nostaliese reis vol hoogtepunte met gesoute musiekvennote Schalk Joubert (baskitaar) en Kevin Gibson(tromme) aan haar sy. Sy volg die gedigte se spore tot by hul oorsprong (‘Ek het ‘n huisie by die see’ is byvoorbeeld reeds in 1949 gepubliseer) en gee net genoeg agtergrond sodat die relevansie van ‘n gedig vir hierdie vreemde tye weer opnuut registreer.

With Stanislav Angelov, Petrus de Beer and Schalk Joubert. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is probably one of the best-loved Classical masterpieces of all time. Enjoyed by old and young across the whole spectrum of music lovers. The original score was written for a string orchestra, church organ and violin soloist. These days the organ is replaced mostly by a harpsichord. Because of the size of this instrumentation, it is very difficult for people to hear it on their doorstep since an orchestra is a costly affair. This group of 4 violin concerti was composed in 1723 and published in 1725 in Amsterdam. It is to this day one of Antonio Vivaldi’s most famous works. He wrote poems to express the meaning of the music in which he tries to portray his experiences of each of the 4 seasons of the year. This is one of the earliest examples of program music – which in essence, is music with a narrative element. With this rendition of Four Seasons, listeners hear the familiar piece of music in a format not heard before in South Africa. Picture these various violin parts performed with 3 instruments only - a violin, an accordion and a bass guitar. The Afrikaans translation from Italian was done by Dr Dawid de Villiers.

Traditional Tango music, performed in the style of diSarli, Canaro, Salgan and Pugliese. Original Tango music compositions are mixed with South African flavour and Jazz. Performed by Stanislav Angelov (Accordion & Bandoneon), Petrus de Beer (Violin), Albert Combrink (Piano), Henrike Kovats (Bass).
