Most achingly-beautiful music

Tejo, is that Amalia Rodriguez, the great Fado singer? I heard her live at Lorenço Marques, Maputo now, in the early fiftees. P l e a s e tell me the name and marque of the CD/LP, She moved me to tears then, when I was a young boy....

Yes, the same Amália Rodrigues (with an "s" not "z" - that's Spanish...), Detlof. There are dozens of recordings of Amália Rodrigues. I will find out which are the best and let you know. Amália died recently. Saudade.

Thankyou Tejo, that would be very kind. Sad, that she recently died, its a loss. Listened to Pires again, by the way and you are right, such a lightness and yet such intensity. Wonderful!! Regards,

Ok, Detlof. Recently, two discs (double - actually, four discs) were released with "the best" of Amália. Personally, I dislike this kind of approach. Nevertheless, this may be a good start for you. I will look for and provide you the codes (next wednesday - I can also e-mail you that information if you want to tell me your e-mail address). About Maria João Pires (also Portuguese), I believe she's the best living interpreter of Schubert. Lightness and intensity, I absolutely agree. Best regards from Lisbon.
