In The Bin [Issue
#24]
Susanne Abbuehl
Compass
(CD
ECM)
Not since Judy Collins’ In My Life has there been an album like this
– a quiet yet powerful series of chamber songs. Susanne Abbuehl’s controlled
and graceful vocals, accompanied by piano and woodwinds, interprets traditional
folk songs and songs in which she has set to music poetry and prose by James Joyce
and W.C. Williams. This is literature in musical form, suitable for solitary but
not unhappy afternoons and nights. .
