Forgotten Dreams

This CD was made as a result of a BBC television documentary Paddington Green which featured the life of a prostitute, Jackie Macauliffe. She was one of the characters in this area of London. It turned out that she started life as a man, and had herself surgically changed into a woman. She then worked as a prostitute to pay for further cosmetic surgery. Eventually she gave up that life to become a classical pianist, and this CD of popular classical piano music, some adapted to include an orchestral background, is her first.

At present it is only available from the UK and is quite expensive. Click this link to see the play list. However eventually clicking here should get you a version sourced in the USA.

The sound sample is from the tv program not the actual CD
