Soprano Jamie Korkos sang most of Lilly and Sarah's pieces on the recording, with the exception of Visi d'arte and Baillero.


Pianist John Danke and  sound and recording engineer Patricio Pickslay at Rhythm Collation Recording Studio in Hillcrest, San Diego


Beverly Libby of Bee's Originals has been my costumer of choice for all of my projects these past 6 years.  Beverly is a very creative and open minded designer.  Love her!

 

 


Pianist John Danke really gave his all during our recording sessions. 

Sometimes it would be 90 degrees in the studio.  There was no air conditioning and we were having a heat wave.  Still, we prevailed.

The many instruments you heard on Baillero were all John's work.  He played each instrument and laid down the tracks one at a time.  His timing is lovely and I think really brings the meadow to life.


Kristina Cobarubbia is the very image I had in  mind for Lilly.  Lovely and graceful.  Kristina has a Flamenco Dance company in San Diego.  She was the assistant coreographer to the San Diego Opera's Don Quixote , which was a very big deal and a stunning program.
 

Tenor Jef Olson sings as the long dead Guiseppe Ruscello, a name Jef came up with.  Ruscello means babbling brooks.


Engineer Patrick Pickslay and Elizabeth worked very closely on this project.  A lot of time went into the details.  The birds, the sound effects and the digital instrumentation.
