“Nau in exquisite form here, with simply orchestrated pieces which I love even more than fully produced work, as you are right in the core, the heart, of the songs. You feel almost as if you're there in the attic with him, for a private performance.”

“German actress & folk singer recorded a capella (voice & guitar) these songs on a home tape recorder in the early 70s, they were never intended for commercial release.
