    A wonderful album of covers. The sound and clarity is amazing. The Listening Wind and Power of the Heart are especially beautiful. I obtained my copy direct from Real World Records along with a new copy of 'So' a few years ago. So glad I did.

        One of the best cover song albums, ever. Very powerful orchestra arrangements to classic and lesser know songs. A+
