Various Artists - Psychedelic Crown Jewels Vol.2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The fourth and final recording of Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett's InchMare BalticumInch project with and about music from the Baltic region, the first of which has already received the coveted ICMA, is perhaps the most beautiful. One-part melodies sung by four women in their own rhythm and yet in complete unison transport us to the bygone world of the Middle Ages. Solo songs bring us even closer to that time. For instance, when - this is just one example - Lorenza Donadini as Mary laments the death of Jesus, we hear the grief of a living mother over the death of her own child. What a pity that this excursion into the past lasts only 79 minutes!

William McNally performed for the first time in Carnegie Hall shortly after his ninth birthday and has since played there two more times. A multifaceted musician, Mr. McNally is a widely recognized ragtime pianist and composer.
