Making beautiful music together feels so good and soothing in times like this!
Last week Dutch accordeon player André Vrolijk visited us to record an album with my husband. Afterwards we decided to spontaneously play a couple of songs. Among which this one from my album #songsfromthemirror

Theme from Magogany
It was one of the first songs I sang when I started singing lessons at 13. I had not sang it in years but now we thought… what a treasure is this song! Let’s play it! So here it is… an acoustic version. #dianaross #cover #acoustic #singer

SMILE
Some songs are timeless. Like this one, written by Charlie Chaplin. The lyrics will never be outdated. Even now, in this restless world, this is a beautiful song to find peace with. Tom and I will be sharing more covers with you! #charliechaplin.

Back in 2012, I heard the Budapest Saxophone Quartet perform Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion. Their rendition was captivating and inspired me to record it with them. Our album, Silent Words, features this gem alongside original compositions and film scores. Listen here: open.spotify.com/track/5DBvSM...
