Linden Lea


Shura Gehrman (bass), Adrian Farmer (piano)

Recorded at Wyastone Leys on 12th June 1980, 12th May 1981

"What impressed me was the sense of involvement in the forward flow of the melody, which again and again picked me up and carried me along like a water skier. A poor singer makes you aware of the voice trying to interpret the music. A great singer often seems to become the music, and there were many moments on these records when this happened." Colin Wilson
