Musical artist

Lynsey de Paul (born Lyndsey Monckton Rubin; 11 June 1948 – 1 October 2014) was an English singer-songwriter and record producer. After initially writing hits for others, she had her own chart hits in the UK and Europe in the 1970s, starting with UK top 10 single "Sugar Me", and became the first British female artist to achieve a number one with a self-written song (in 1972 in Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands). She represented the UK in the 1977 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in second place and scoring another chart-topping hit in Switzerland, and had a successful career as a songwriter, record producer, actress and television celebrity.

Early life

Lyndsey Monckton Rubin was born to Meta (née de Groot) and Herbert Rubin, a property developer. They were a Jewish family with a Dutch, Austrian and German background, and had one other child, John (b. 1944). She studied classical music with a tutor from the Royal Academy of Music. She attended South Hampstead High School followed by Hornsey College of Art, now part of Middlesex University. De Paul later claimed that she and her brother suffered physical abuse at the hands of their father. In one incident as a student aged 19, de Paul was concussed for two days following a fight with her violent father, prompting her to leave her comfortable family home for a two roomed flat above an Indian restaurant near her college.^[9

Horea Crishan and James Last

A true natural talent that James Last, Eugen Cicero and others quickly discovered for themselves. “The pan flute,” says Horea Crishan, “opens up a whole world of emotions and all dimensions of music.”

Horea Crishan has performed as a panpipe soloist with the well-known jazz pianist Eugen Cicero, the large Alfred Hause Promenade Orchestra, with whom he toured Japan for many years, and the world-famous James Last Orchestra. His wide-ranging repertoire includes folklore, entertainment and classical music. Horea Crishan is a much sought-after soloist at gala concerts and on cruise ships such as M.S Europa, M.S. Deutschland, M.S. Amadea, M.S. Astor and M.S. Bremen. Horea Crishan plays on panpipes made by Gheorghe Georgescu, one of the world’s best and most famous panpipe makers.

Of his numerous recordings for Intercord and Polydor, his greatest success was “Bird of Paradise” with the James Last Orchestra. In the summer of 2007, he last recorded James Last’s compositions for a new Constantin movie.
