Linda Amiga by Gerard Edery Linda Amiga | Beautiful Friend: Love Songs of the Sephardim and Renaissance Spain
Gerard Edery
(© Sefarad Records, 1996)
This album by the Gerard Edery Ensemble includes some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It’s not just that I’m a sucker for the gorgeous melodies, exquisite harmonies, elegant guitar playing and subtle, exotic percussion that Linda Amiga delivers in spades. I am – but what really gets me is the soulfulness of these songs from the Spanish Jews and the Spanish renaissance. Linda Amiga lifts my heart every time I hear it. Gerard is a masterful guitar player and singer. Please don’t deprive yourself of this delight. The Gerard Edery Ensemble won the 1997 Sephardic Heritage Award for this album. $15

    Dreams of a World: Folk-inspired Music for Guitar by Sharon Isbin Dreams of a World: Folk-inspired Music for Guitar
    Sharon Isbin
    (© Teldec Classics, 1999)
    Sharon plays classical guitar so beautifully it sounds like an angel’s harp! This album presents some of the most gorgeous guitar music I have ever heard. Sharon writes: “The inspiration for this album is folk music – from the Appalachian Mountains, the British Isles, Spain, Greece, Israel, Cuba, Venezuela and Brazil. Folk music was what first drew me to the guitar as a child. Pete Seeger, Theodore Bikel, Burl Ives, Malvina Reynolds, Joan Baez…these are just some of the singers I grew up hearing. My scientist/lawyer parents were avid folk dancers in their spare time and I discovered exotic new cultures in the excitement of their rehearsals and costumed performances. Now, having traveled to some forty countries, I have come to appreciate and love the beautiful music associated with these diverse cultures that expresses the history, legends, identities, and passions of a people." With this CD, Sharon won the 2001 Grammy award for Best Instrumentalist Soloist Performance. $17

  • Night Passage CD by Libana Night Passage
    Libana
    (© Libana, 2000) 
    From Libana: “In seeking the music that would be included in this album (the third in a trilogy that began with  A Circle Is Cast and Fire Within), we found ourselves instinctively drawn to songs that evocatively portray the cyclical nature of life. The sixteen songs we chose, each in its own inspiring and soothing way, reflect upon the personal and universal themes of life, death, renewal, and the longing for mystical connection. Woven throughout are images of the eternal circling of the heavens, the potent cycles of the moon, the earth's perpetual turning from equinox to solstice, a powerful cross-cultural belief in a spiritual dimension, and the fundamental human need to mourn, take solace, and experience unbounded hope and joy.” $16   Learn to sing these beautiful songs with the Night Passage Songbook $14
