Thursday music corner: Carmarthenshire-born John Cale has experimented with a wide range of musical styles over his long career, which was kick-started by his role as founding member of the enormously influential New York art-rock ensemble the Velvet Underground. He has released 23 solo albums, including collaborations with Terry Riley, Lou Reed, Brian Eno and Bob Neuwirth.
The euphoric, nonsensical baroque pop song Paris 1919 is the title track of Cale's third solo studio album, recorded in Los Angeles and released in February 1973. Cale has performed the entire album live with an orchestra, commencing in Cardiff in 2009.
