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.

It has been both a freedom and a challenge to have an orchestra available.” (Rigmor Gustafsson) ACT
