    I was devastated when Bowie died, I walked all around town in the snow crying and singing, could not listen to Blackstar for nearly a year and a half without bawling my eyes out. This is beautiful, I truly believe David Bowie would be proud! If he were there in the audience I have no doubt he’d be smiling big cheering these ladies on. ❤️

      Same, I bought the blackstar album , but couldn´t hardly listen to it. World had changed. Then I found this arrangement, the wohle album in the cathedral in France, and got familiar to it. Dear Mr Bowie, thank you for your gift in music and in character

      I always felt David was easily pleased by others, while able to bring out their best. It was one of his many gifts.

    i showed considerable paucity clicking on this knowing how much i loved bowies version including the epic video. i love surprises and this exceeded all my expectations...this is way more complex than just a 'cover song'. also, i appreciate how seriously they took on the arduous task of trying to bring their own musicianship and vision towards this complex song.

    My girlfriend was devastated when Sir Bowie passed, I too was also very sad but when I found out he was suffering from cancer I found something happy. I felt like this album he’s like letting us know that he’s okay, that he knows he’s dying but he’s okay with it. This album is like something he left for all of us to hold on too. Like if you miss him, just put this album on and he’s right there next to you.

    I have to declare an interest....I’m a hopeless Anna Calvi fan and I adored this. Super duet, fine orchestra and moving arrangement. Anna is a special artist; her own music and her various covers are emotive and enchanting. We are truly fortunate to be surrounded by such talent.

      I am not a music expert but this seems is a pretty complex arrangement. Not that there is anything wrong with the original Blackstar but I do think as well Mr. Bowie would have been mighty proud of it.
      An then I hope I am allowed to say to the small Mrs. Calvi: You are actually a giant.
