What I love about T'LOG, after some time with it, is its richness. I keep discovering new thrills.
The orchestration of LUDWIG, which unsettled me at first, is superb. In JOB, Joni's "Oh, where is hope?" sends shivers down my spine. When that trumpet kicks in after "The waves at Malibu" -- ooooh! GOD MUST BE, one of my faves, is here so sprightly and invigorating. And someone comforting. Joni's reading of "Of the roads" in REFUGE gives the song a new tenderness. And her "Dream of a baby" in DAWNTREADER is pure longing distilled to its essence -- very moving. Oh Joni: I love you so much!
