Sometimes, everything on the paper screams: “that’s for you”… Yet!

Young Iceland lady with a nice voice, doing gentle kind of Jazzish songs, very well recorded.

Well, bought it blindly two days ago and listening to it today… how boring! :sleeping_face:

Qobuz album of the week.

I had never heard of The Beths, but I’m enjoying this album.

The Beths are from NZ, so perhaps @all2ofme is familiar with them…?

I really enjoy these ‘classic’ performances, from a time when (in my opinion) King’s College Choir, under the baton of Sir David Willcocks, were at the height of their powers.
As a child, I was a regular visitor (with my family) to King’s College, Cambridge for choral evensong, which led me to become a chorister and musician (clarinet, then saxophone).
King’s Cambridge was the genesis of my musical ‘journey’, which has been a lifelong passion.
