gone with the wind, a lamb, a unicorn etc
No, not the gone with the wind, but a gone with the wind, a CD produced by a group of 4 mongolian musicians who used to busk around amsterdam. the lamb is william blake’s, as set by john tavener, and the unicorn (blue) is mercedes sosa’s. there’s mariza’s own fate, kevin ayers’ stranger in blue suede shoes (thank you … very much … indeed), etta james doing ella and barbara sukowa (one of margarethe von trotta’s german sisters) singing schubert, as recomposed by reinbert de leeuw. finally, one last song from gundula janowitz.
