Can't remember the name of the album

Postby danielrkrueger » Fri Jun 05, 2009 11:41 am

I heard a piece maybe last year, at the time it was a "new release". It was a woman singing in sounds and "ahs" etc. It was eerie and haunting sounding. I believe she was Italian, I thought the name of the album had the words "Water" or "Sea" in the name.

Can anyone help me find this?

Thanks,

Dan

Not much to go on, but I'll think on it.

In the meantime, welcome to the B.com BB!

Did the piece sound like the one featured in this video? If so, it's Vocalaise by Sergei Rachmaninoff.

I'm not able name an album, sorry, but if indeed this is the work you had in mind, then finding a good recording won't take long. :) Vocalaise came up because someone else in another forum, many moons ago, wanted a piece with a similar description identified, and it turned out to be this one.

Hi Daniel. My first thought with a woman singing "ah"s is Bachianas Brasilieras #5 by Villa-Lobos. Hope you solve your mystery.
