All The Things You Are
Debut CD from soprano Cheryl Priest with Julia de Plater on piano
The idea to make a recording had been floating around in my mind since 2005, but it wasn’t until June 2008 that the focus for the project became clear: I wanted to make an album of the kinds of songs that I had always sung around the piano after dinner that make people feel warm and relaxed but also take them on an a bit of an emotional journey – the songs that I had sung when Alan asked “Sing me a song, Miss Priest!”. But what to choose! The richness of the American Song Book and treasures of musical theatre were immeasurable. In the end, I selected works that were personal favourites of those dear to me, were a bit of fun or had significance for me. Julia and I both hope that you enjoy spending an hour or so with us and that you love these magical works as much as we do.
Dedicated to the memory of
Alan Nipperess (1944-2008)
and all those we have loved.
