Mina Foley was a soprano with a massive local following. In her heyday of the 1950's she was well known throughout the country. Tragically her career was short lived but the music still has a huge appeal over 50 years on.
The release comes off the back of the success of the previous 2 Mina Foley albums through Ode, The Early Years (CDMANU1062), and Songs for You (CDMANU1529). Both of these albums have had extended runs in the NZ Classical Charts.
This recording is available for the first time on CD and features a selection of fine songs for solo voice along with duets performed by Mina with another NZ great Michael Tarawhiti McGifford.
