Frances Drost has recorded 9 solo albums throughout her career, but her 10th, which is to be released on November 4, 2022, is one of collaboration. LBTN's co-host, Kirstin Myers, approached her last December after pondering the thought of recording a Christmas album with new arrangements for the oboe/English horn and piano. After this, the rest was history - but in our 11th podcast, Frances and Kirstin share their history of this past year. From the conception of the project, traveling to Nashville to record it to waiting for CDs to arrive, they discuss not only the technical process of recording, but all the fears, hopes and vulnerabilities that go along with it.
Arranged and produced by Nashville composer Phillip Keveren, "Midwinter's Gift" is a heartfelt and unique Christmas album that fills a gap in the oboe/English horn literature while also filling the listener with a sense of hope and peace. While many notes were played on this recording, listen in to this episode to find out what happened in-between them...and how it not only helped forge their friendship but how it changed these two musicians on their musical journeys.
