"Lady in Satin" by Billie Holiday

That record shows how smokey her voice became... not a favorite of mine, but I had it years ago.  Her last, yes?  

The album divides fans.  Her voice is weak but the performances are great; her air of physical vulnerability adds poignancy to the ballads. (The same reason lots of people like Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt.")  It's my favorite of hers by far.  I think she may have done one album after this, "Stay with Me."

Now:



"Port Said, Music of the Middle East" by Mohammed El-Baktar and his Oriental Ensemble.  It's available free via archive.org.  Wonder how many copies of the album that cover sold?

Also, "Beethoven Symphony No. 6 (Pastorale)" performed by Solvak Philharmonic

It has been an all-day thing:







And some Queen, Susan Aglukark, a selection of Brahms' Hungarian Dances and some Scott Joplin piano rags.
