AEDÍN IN THE AFTERNOON

On her first show of the new year, Aedín includes some very fine French music from the pen of Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré and Maurice Ravel played by Alex Petcu, vibraphone, Yo-Yo Ma cello, and French pianist Hélène Grimaud. American soprano Dawn Upshaw is in the spotlight with three wonderful recordings. A fantastic live performance from the Wynton Marsalis Septet and sensational songs from Tori Amos, Curtis Stigers and Stacey Kent.
