| Exquisite songs that are delightfully haunting. (review from amazon.com) |
|
| I bought this CD for Flow My Tears, and have been enchanted with it. All of the cuts are consistently good. Carla's interpretation of Black Is the Color Of My True Love's Hair leaves me wanting more. A real find is the title song, Ephemera. Purist who recoil at the idea of Yeats being put to music, may wish to stay away, but for me it is more rather than less. Thanks Carla, for songs that are beautiful, haunting and full of heart. As for Flow My Tears, I would have liked to have had Dowland credited on the liner notes for his song as well as his words, even though Carla's melody is certainly her own variation. Still, Dowland's Tears can be heard lingering there. It takes courage to play with something so perfect and pull it off. Magical.
