icepixieEeee!
Hem's soundtrack to Twelfth Night is streaming here. I pre-ordered the CD from Nettwerk, and was most displeased to find it wasn't shipping until the end of October. But now I can listen to it now! And it is lovely. The tracks are a bit shorter than I expected, but I guess it's incidental music for a play, so that makes sense.
And no Sally Ellyson singing, but Raul Esparza makes a pretty good substitute. And I love the orchestrations. So pretty.

That one is very, very impressive. I'm partial to "Wind and Rain" and "Where is Fancy Bred" (which...is apparently from Merchant of Venice? I guess Dan Messe got a little ambitious). And several of the instrumentals are so pretty...I kind of wish they'd expand on some of them, like "Enter Sebastian," "one Self King," and "This is the Air." I guess that would be greedy of me to wish, since they're coming out with a really long new album in a few months, but I still wish it.
BTW, do you know if Raul Esparza sings the lead in "Come Away Death"? It sure sounds like him, but I looked up the text, and Feste is supposed to sing that one.

Feste sings the lead in "Come Away Death"; Senor Esparza joins him after a few verses, then Anne Hathaway. Twas brilliant.
