The remainder of the disc comprises knockout renditions of “Wayfaring Stranger” and John Jacob Niles’s “Go ’way from my window” by Baez and Isbin interspersed with two world premiere recordings, John Duarte’s evocative Joan Baez Suite for solo guitar and O’Connor’s arrangement for violin and guitar of his Strings & Threads Suite, originally for solo violin.
Such is the musical sympathy and understanding displayed by all three performers here that, at the risk of condoning both bigamy and the reckless use of clichés, this is a marriage made in heaven.
