Product Description
"Better to Have Loved," on Songkeepers Records, is an artful blend of timeless tunes that are infrequently performed, challenging to interpret and hardly ever recorded. Although most of the songs are by established writers such as: Michel Legrand, the team of Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Carroll Coates, Duncan Lamont and Meredith Willson, Ida Zecco's choice of material was drawn from an ever-widening repository of songs that are perfectly suited to her particular vocal abilities, singular personal and flexible style. Ms. Zeccco, on this recording, is backed by some of the finest of the New England musician pool. Trumpeter/arranger, Dick Lowell, has structured a collection of charts that balances the instrumental strength of the orchestra and soloist against the elegant vocal sounds created by Ida Zecco with spacious arrangements and ardent accompaniment. Ms. Zecco's voice is beautifully resonant, her timing is impeccable, articulation is clean and clear and intonation is unlimited. The most attractive aspect of this delightful recording is just how much personal magnetism and sensibilities Ms. Zecco brings to her performance and music.
