Description / My Opinion
|
|
Berkshire - Ordered 03/09/99 - Received 03/19/99 The booklet contains the Libretto. This great music, and great songs, and also great performers. I do love this recording, which is more classical than, say, Rent, but it is definitely modern. I love A Simple Song, for the music, the words and the performer. But this is only one among the others. I have no much words but I confess this is one of my special albums.
