Folk Song

From the Andreas Scholl album i have chosen the track I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger.

It is a beautiful rendition of this traditional folk song by Andreas Scholl with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

Enjoy.

Ha, I was just singing this song to myself earlier today. This old dude, Al Turay, taught me it on the guitar when I was 14. Every once in a while it pops into my head. This prompted me too look him up. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=arnold-turay-al&pid=140368684

Nice. Though I still think Emmylou Harris' version of this may be one of the greatest vocal performances of all time.

I have to admit to not being one for 'classical' renditions of traditional song- it always lacks the raw edge.
