What's Spinning April 2025

Excellent album. She’s a very good artist. And sonically her albums are also really good. I’m a grown man and I listen to “Melodrama” all the time.

I’ll never forget seeing them perform at Hatfield Polytechnic in 1979. What a superb gig!

This version features my favourite mezzo-soprano, Bernarda Fink.
I think that she has a wonderful voice, and her rendition of Erbarme dich is absolutely superb to my ears. I should have asked to hear it when I had the Varèse demo!
