The Best Of Eva Cassidy gathers the luminous heart of a singular voice into one essential 2LP statement. Released in 2012, it captures the emotional precision and quiet power that made Eva Cassidy an enduring legend.

Drawn from her Washington, D.C. recordings and posthumous releases, these 19 performances trace a career defined by interpretive grace. Cassidy glides through “Over The Rainbow” and “Songbird” with breathtaking restraint, while “Fields Of Gold” and “Time After Time” reveal her uncanny ability to inhabit a lyric as if she wrote it herself. Her phrasing feels intimate yet expansive, balancing perfect pitch with a vulnerability that never tips into sentimentality.

The set’s crown jewel is the previously unissued enhanced version of “You Take My Breath Away.” Originally a spare guitar and vocal performance, it has been sensitively augmented by longtime collaborators Chris Biondo and Lenny Williams with piano, double bass, and string quartet. The result is richer in texture yet faithful to her original nuance, elevating an already beloved interpretation to new heights.

Pressed on 180g vinyl across two LPs and housed in a gatefold jacket, this edition is mastered by Robert Vosgien at Capitol Mastering. For devoted fans and first-time listeners alike, it is a beautifully curated reminder that true artistry does not fade - it only deepens with every spin.
