Show "Here's to your good health" hosted by Dr. Harris Stratyner: "What
a beautiful, beautiful CD"
Fantastic reviews at
Jazz.com "Norwegian chanteuse Hilde
Hefte delivers an intimate, assured rendering of one of the most
intricate and lovely ballads ever written. With a relaxed authority
devoid of diva pretensions, her ethereal voice glides through Elise
Bretton's intricate changes while Egil Kapstad's deceptively understated
piano utilizes space to enhance rather than crowd his lush orchestral
arrangement. Captured in a live session with the prolific Prague
Philharmonic under the capable Mario Klemens, this is a recording to be
savored in a private moment – perfect for lovers in front of a fire on a
chilly night. Personally, I can't wait to spend an evening or two in
Prague." Bill Barnes Click to read more>>
