Softly 
Noel Edison
When he who dreams the music rules the barn"Come hither" fingers flutter his intentAnd those who watch the dreamer, sing his songBring life to mind's imaginings again.The sound that grows to fill the arching hallHas currents deep and fast and transientThat warm not cool the inner core of lifeAnd flow to places nothing else can find.Four hundred creaking softly in the darkAre we who watch the back of this event.The sound sublime revives our tired soulsWe dream the dream together in content.###
Russell Braun (Review)
I fell in love with the lyric baritone of Russell Braun after hearing his Papageno in the Magic Flute at Opera Atelier in Toronto. That was in the early '90s. Soon after he moved on to the Canadian Opera Company and then to world opera stages, but he still holds recitals with his wife and accompanist, Carolyn Maule, in southern Ontario.I have heard Braun sing recitals a few times and have always been bowled over. Tonight I heard him again in recital at the Elora Festival, singing with Noel Edison's Elora Festival Singers in the Gambrel Barn.
