Marlena Shaw "Pictures And Memories" (Columbia) 1977 .... what a soulful voice ....

I believe the best results are achieved if the listeners either don't have a clue about Bach at all (aka novelty) or are deeply interested in individuals pieces .... in case you are only familiar with the concept of Bach's music the cover versions of Loussier - more sooner than later - grow boring....

Eartheater „Trinity“ (Chemical X) 2019 ….

Fitz and the Tantrums „Sway“ (Elektra) 2022 ….

The listener has to be familiar with Bach and his compositions to appreciate this "treatment" .... btw the basstone of Pierre Michelot is beautiful ....

The power and the glory of Earth, Wind & Fire ....

Trees Speak "Mind Maze" (Soul Jazz Records) 2023 ....

The Rhythm Section nothing short of sensational here ....

A showcase for Miguel Quintana .... as highlighted @ "Favourite Salsa Records ...." thread 😎😇🤓 ....

Before .... : A major archival find finally released in 2014 .... a beautiful Bruckner 7 highlighting the silky smooth string section ....

Bells Atlas „The Mystic“ (Tender Loving Empire) 2019 ….

Recorded November 1991 @ Peterskirche Kempen, Niederrhein .... Sviatoslav Richter and Bach a perfect match ....

Sounds mysterious 🤔 .... but good news anyway ....

This Gewandhaus Quartett recording from April 2000 belongs ascertained to the landmark Mendelsohn and Schumann String Quartet performances ....

The late Halina Czerny-Stefanska with a touching Chopin recital ..... recorded in June 1985 @ Japan .... still available https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/SICC-2124 .... comes highly recommended ....

Marlena Shaw R.I.P ....

The ease of Jorge Bolet`s execution is astonishing ....

Conjunto Candela 79 "Son Candela" (Guajiro Records) 1981 .... Miguel Quintana delivers big time .... as usual ....

Marlena Shaw "Feel Like Making Love" (Blue Note) 1975 .... the album was a big seller for Blue Note in the mid70's .... Roberta Flack was asking for love in the original hit version but Marlena Shaw demands it ....

Alfred Schnittke dedicated his first Cello Concerto to Natalia Gutman .... challenging music ....

Undisputed classic ....

Agreed ....

Outstanding 😍 ....

Marlena Shaw (1942 - 2024) R.I.P ....
