At the age of 11, Billy Childs discovered the music of the New York singer-songwriter Laura Nyro. The love for her music led to a brilliant tribute in 2015: "Map to the treasure - Reimagining Laura Nyro". With this album he set a monument to Nyro's work, which was also awarded a Grammy. Billy Child's versions of Nyro's music are central to this program.

Mencanta!!! !!! !!! .....

[@peterd.9522]

oh yes! Laura done right!

[@heloa.m.7863]

Laura Nyro foi uma cantora, pianista e compositora fantástica! Compôs milhares de hits e canções incríveis nos anos 70! Exemplo: o grupo Fifth Dimension (Wedding Bell Blues)! e foi interpretada por outras cantoras e cantores/compositores notáveis da época, como a música Walk on by , um sucesso da cantora Dionne Warwick. E influenciou compositores e compôs outras milhares de lindas músicas ao longo de sua breve vida (morreu aos 49 anos). Muitas de suas canções tornaram-se sucessos com Three Dog Night, Peter, Paul & Mary e Blood, Sweat & Tears, Patty La Belle, entre outros. Laura Nyro é genial, maravilhosa e inesquecível!!

[@CCOCCARO]

Magnificent performances and production. "Save the Country", my God.

[@hornsby5533]

Schade das ich nur einen "Daumen hoch" vergeben kann!

[@rudigerruf8074]

… dem schließe ich mich an ❤

[@peterd.9522]

The audio is excellent. I have a saying, "If you can't hear it, you won't feel it". The comparison between the live stream and this make the point. Thank you. As a life long Laura Nyro lover, and fan of Billy Childs this is such a gift. Any chance it will be released on a streaming service (Apple preferably) in hi resolution audio?

[@hrbigband]

Dear Peter! Thank you very much for your kind words! At the moment we do not yet release the concerts for streaming, but maybe we should consider doing so in the future! 😊

[@StudioTrumpeter]

Nice💥💥💥💥💫💫💫💫💫💢💢💯💯💯

Nice. Long had a soft spot for Nyro. Lost far too soon. Where's " Bill?"
