RIGMOR GUSTAFSSON — When You Make Me Smile (2014) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

"This album is a dream come true. I started to write songs about two years ago and contacted Dalasinfoniettan, an absolutely fantastic Swedish orchestra that I love. For a short while I was thinking that there are already so much lovely music out there to record, but felt very fast that for me it’s natural to compose new material. It has been both a freedom and a challenge to have an orchestra available.” (Rigmor Gustafsson) ACT
