This review is from: If I Had a Key to the Dawn (Audio CD)
If I Had a Key to the Dawn: Love Songs and Laments from Eastern Europe is a music CD album of intimate songs, some instrumental, some featuring Lily Storm's haunting voice, all drawing upon the musical and storytelling traditions of various Eastern and Central European nations from Greece to Hungary to the Ukraine, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and more. The songs themselves range from bittersweet love ballads to celebrations of a mother's love for her child. If I Had a Key to the Dawn bears witness beauty and the power of human emotion, and deserves the highest recommendation. The tracks are "Sleep, child" (0:48), "The peony" (1:58), "One Friday" (2:39), "Oh, stand aside" (2:36), "A bird flew to my darling's window" (2:52), "Love, love" (2:25), "The lemon tree" (3:13), "Gulo" (6:29), "Little turtle-dove" (4:27), "Instrumental (accordion)" (2:28), "Green leaf of a pear tree" (3:15), "My Nightingale" (2:37), "Years, heavy years" (3:58), "Instrumental (duduk)" (3:07), and "The swallow is flying" (2:57). 45 minutes, 48 seconds.
