Cedille Records marks the 93rd anniversary of the birth of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (b. March 15, 1933) with the digital single release of Patrice Michaels’s “On the Joys of Recorded Music.” Performed by soprano Alisa Jordheim and pianist Kuang-Hao Huang, the previously unreleased song was originally intended for Michaels’s cycle The Long View, featured on the album Notorious RBG in Song. The song is set to Michaels’s lightly adapted text of a 1999 letter from Justice David H. Souter to James Ginsburg, founder and President of Cedille Records — and son of RBG. In the letter, Justice Souter expresses his admiration for the emotional power of Rachel Barton Pine‘s recording of the complete Handel Violin Sonatas, and his utter amazement that a recording could move him as deeply as a live performance.
