  1. Sibelius -- The Swan of Tuonela

    youtu.be/X3_H5YlgKFU?si=qXegyn

    “Tuonela, the land of death, the hell of Finnish mythology, is surrounded by a large river of black waters and a rapid current, in which the swan of Tuonela glides majestically singing.” -- Jean Sibelius.

    A must listen if you want to hear magical writing for the cor anglais.

    Album 14: #AizuriQuartet - Earthdrawn Skies
    Really nice string set ranging from a string arrangement of #HildegardVonBingen to #JeanSibelius to #Komitas to contemporary composer #EleanorAlberga. Immediately hit repeat on Alberga's stormy piece here -- her String Quartet no. 3. Highly recommend!

    Album 15: #TerraceMartin and #AlexIsley - I Left My Heart in Ladera
    Terrace Martin is hit and miss for me but Alex Isley usually brings it --- this is an absolute winner, loved it from the opening cover of Sade's "Paradise" through every bit of the quiet-storm-neo-soul set that followed.
