a couple of weeks ago debra & some others remarked about an artist (vienna teng) they saw on david letterman that intrigued them- i missed the show but listening to her music gave me goosebumps so i knew it was one to review..thought you all might be interested since you are kind of part of my simple (limited to 90 words) review:
Vienna Teng The Waking Hour (Virt Records) I first learned of Vienna through another performing songwriter as they were planning a tour together, looking for venues and places to stay. Then I heard friends raving about her performance on Letterman. Listening to music samples, I was enchanted enough to buy her CD. Shes been described as Chopin meets Sarah McLachlan, and although I dislike these kinds of comparisons, in this case I admit it is very accurate. Classically trained on piano and educated at Stanford, Viennas voice is beautiful, her lyrics intelligent, and her melodies deeply moving. Highly recommended!
