Nocturno
Bïa just keeps.reinventing herself. Hailed as her best album since Sources, it features this Canadian-Brazilian-French singer in softer, more intimate songs, some of them romantic, but others -- as with Sources -- touching the countless facets of human rights. A must for all those who, like us, love Bïa.
CD: ADCD10227 $21.00
Coeur vagabond
The fourth from Bïa: six Brazilian songs sung in French, seven French songs sung in Portuguese...and then there's the title song! If you've ever heard Bïa sing, you will about now be clicking on the button for the order page. If you haven't...listen first.

Sources
Bïa (pronounced bee-ya) is a stunning young singer from Brazil who lives in France. She sings in Portugese, French and English, and tears your heart out. Would she be as mesmerizing without the clear, widerange, glowing sound? It's one of those recordings you hear and you and go out and grab it.

CLASSICA D'ORO
We couldn't believe it: at an absurdly low price, a huge collection of classical music on 50 CDs. We listened with a jaundiced ear. Might these be old mono recordings? No, they're all in stereo, and better than pretty good...mostly 10th row centre in a good hall, just the way we like it. Surely the artists would be third rate? No, they are all respectable, and many are excellent. Then the music choice would be biased toward the saccharine? No, it's just about the selection we would have made had we been putting together a package like this. If you have few or no classical recordings and you've been thinking you would like to discover the world of the classics, this is for you. It will enrich your life! Even if you have a fair collection already, you'll be surprised by what's on this 50 CD set.
GCM-50 $119.95
Want to see the list of works on this collection, and even hear excerpts on line? Just pop over to our Classica d'Oro page. Want to hear some of the music on your own system? Order a sampler (on recordable CD) for $10, refundable if you order the entire set.
