Sorry about that. It was a file-import error. Fixed now.

There is a lot of distortion in the vocal at peak. Fingernails on a blackboard.  Very unfortunate because the rest of the piece is lovely.

I dunno why I can find more info about this in Russian :
В своем дебютном трио певица и скрипачка Алиса Завадски, пианист Фред Томас (который также играет на исторической скрипке и ударных) и басист Миша Муллов-Аббадо представляют редкую алхимию, которая объединяет фолк-идиомы самого разного происхождения со свободным взаимодействием и гибкими структурами.

Таким образом, трио окружено независимым спектром стилей и звуков, сочетающим народную песню, камерную музыку, импровизацию и джаз, и на Za Górami они объединяют все эти качества в увлекательное целое. Здесь можно услышать сефардские песни, а также впечатляющие интерпретации "Suéltate Las Cintas" Густаво Сантаоллы и "Tonada De Luna Llena" Симона Диаса. "Za Górami" - традиционная польская песня, давшая название альбому, - звучит в пронзительной версии самого Завадского, а произведение эпохи Возрождения "Je Suis Trop Jeunette" находит родственную душу в вдохновленной монодией Фреда Томаса обработке "Нежной леди" Джеймса Джойса. Альбом был записан в Auditorio Stelio Molo в Лугано и спродюсирован Манфредом Айхером. 

Automatic translation:
In their debut trio, singer and violinist Alisa Zawadzki, pianist Fred Thomas (who also plays the historical violin and drums) and bassist Misha Mullov-Abbado present a rare alchemy that combines folk idioms of very different origins with free interaction and flexible structures.
Thus, the trio is surrounded by an independent range of styles and sounds, combining folk song, chamber music, improvisation and jazz, and on Za Górami they combine all these qualities into a fascinating whole. Here you can hear Sephardic songs, as well as impressive interpretations of "Suéltate Las Cintas" by Gustavo Santaolla and "Tonada De Luna Llena" by Simon Diaz. "Za Górami", the traditional Polish song that gave the album its name, sounds in a piercing version by Zavadsky himself, and the Renaissance work "Je Suis Trop Jeunette" finds a kindred spirit in the Fred Thomas-inspired monody treatment of James Joyce's "Gentle Lady". The album was recorded at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Beautiful song, thank you. And definitely check out other covers of this song - it's one of those songs that can be 'worn' very nicely by very different artists.

My first time comment - I’ve never done this before because I rarely find that I like tracks on first listen which then grow on me over time, but this one is just such a haunting melody that I don’t feel that inhibition. What a lovely piece.
