My video offering today is the extraordinary Patricia Petibon. If you haven't been introduced, allow me. Bringing Baroque and other repertoire to blazing life, Petibon sings with consummate expressiveness bedded in seamless technique. And it's fun! Who ever said Classical music is stuffy, check out how she plays with a fusion of styles in this performance and has huge fun kicking the conductor off the podium. Awesome 😄🤩

Eva Cassidy. She always takes my breath away. This very well-known Fleetwood Mac song could be sentimental but Eva makes it so genuine with her soft but strong tone helped by a great orchestral arrangement. Ave Eva, the world lost you so soon. Happy Singing, may she inspire you!
Songbird (orchestral) - Eva Cassidy with the London Symphony Orchestra The new orchestral Eva Cassidy album I CAN ONLY BE ME is released 3rd March 2023 https://evacassidy.lnk.to/ICanOnlyBeMe
