Such a beautiful record. Very hard to find an original press too. I wonder if there weren't many made or if it was such a popular record that not many actually survived!? I settled for the 1979 Japan re-press for a few years, which is an amazing recording, until I recently, finally, managed to score an original 1957 press in lovely condition. I'm over the moon with this one! :)

I thoroughly recommend chasing down a copy, it is truly gorgeous. Her piano playing is so delicate and her voice equally so. Subtle and sublime, think of lazy Sunday mornings in springtime! :)
