Your favorite recent discovery

This CD was released back in sept/oct 2003 so perhaps not so new to many here, however, I only came upon it last week - Joshua Bell's "Romance of the Violin".

PS: I also liked Jond and Tracer's picks above, just based on clips at amazon.

Any Loreena McKennitt or Lisa Gerrard fans out there? You really owe it to yourself to give a listen to Vas and or Azam Ali's 'solo' efforts. Wonderful stuff...

Gordus - If you like Lisa Gerrard, I'd bet you'd also like some of the Early Music recordings of Jordi Savall and his wife, Montserrat Figueras, who also has a remarkable soprano voice. I'd highly recommend their recording on AllaVox titled, "El Cant de la Sibil-La" (Alla Vox AV9806). Just gorgeous! Been on frequent rotation in my systems lately.

the whole album is consistent straight ahead rock

very nice, buy it you'll like it

I was skeptical

Thanks for the great suggestions! Bought a half dozen of them last night online and can't wait for them to arrive.

Living in a semi-rural area, it's hard to find new music worth listening to. Thank goodness for the web.
