Year of Release: 2004
Record Label: King
Genre: World
Susan Wong is an extremely talented singer. I wish, I could say I found her all-by-my-self but I did not... Fellow ML member "Cherian" recommended this particular singer to us a while ago..., Susan Wong brings sparkle and dazzle to my ML Ascent i's. Her back-up musicans are simply marvelous as well, very talented on each particular instrament. I was blown away by Miss Wong's vocal range and english clarity. The timber and tonal qualities of her marvelous voice are really astoundingly lovely...
I believe the recording of this CD was done on another level of recording quality, because the over-all sound quality is exceptional. The recording electronics, in Japan, must be on a much better recording quality scale or something..., because this CD is just beautiful to listen to, like Redbook or SACD or better.
All the songs are just lovely. Miss Wong covers all the old favorites like:
1. Killing Me Softly With His Song
2. I'm Easy
3. Fly Me To The Moon
4. Close To You
5. Love Will Keep Us Alive
6. Stay Awhile
7. Do You Wanna Dance?
8. This Masquerade
9. So That To Me One More Time
10. Desperado
11. I Just Fall In Love Again
Every song is listening heaven for the ears...
I highly recommend Susan Wong's most excellent CD... I plan on acquiring her other CD, I "Wish You Love". Be aware these are not cheap CD's ~ on Amazon, "Close To You - is $32 (USD) and Wish You Love - is $38... IMPORT ~ CD's are expensive but Susan Wong's voice is soooo worth it...
