In his Autumn Leaves: Interpretations series, Michael Rogatchi has created a double-homage: to one of his favourite songs and melodies, Autumn Leaves composed by Joseph Cosma in 1945, and to many of the artist’s beloved musicians who all interpreted that special song in different ways, each of them bringing his character, life experience and thoughts to the interpretations of the one of the most meaningful songs and melodies of our time.
