Title: The Very Best of Vera Lynn: We’ll Meet Again Artist: Vera Lynn Date: 2009 This is a good album for people like me who are too young to remember WWII but who still recognize many of the songs. Vera Lynn was nicknamed the sweetheart of the British Armed Forces in the 1940s and her [...]

Title: Vera Lynn: We’ll Meet Again Artist: Vera Lynn Date: 1956 Just for fun, I thought I’d compare Vera Lynn’s newest album with her 1956 album on the London label.

Title: Iberia, T.105, Books 1 & 2 Composer: Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909) Artist: Yoram Ish-Hurwitz, piano Date: 2009 If you like Chopin and Debussy, you’ll probably like the Iberia suite by Isaac Albeniz.
