Hmm. You mentioned two of my favorites, Judy Collins and Sheherazade. I was listening to Judy Collins "Moon is a harsh Mistress" a while back and remembered that Joe Cocker also did a version. Listening to them back to back, I was surprised that I liked the raspier, rougher Joe Cocker version. Odd, since Judy Collins clearly has the better voice. Right now I am listening to side 2 of Yes "Closer to the Edge" (I don't really understand side 1, but probably should give it more of a chance) and Holst The Planets. This coming weekend I'm going to our local (well on hour's drive away) symphony doing The Planets and Lunar Reflections from a Canadian composer I haven't heard of before, Heather Schmidt, so I'm going to try to find some of her stuff before Saturday.
