This could have been posted in the Catspotting section as I discovered it yesterday, listening to the radio in my car. Just as I was about the get out, this version of "Morning Has Broken" started to play, so I sat there to listen and I found the arrangement so beautiful it send chills down my spine!
I waited until this morning to check the database of the classical radio station to see what exactly I had heard. Well, it's from the album "Blanc" ("White") from Canadian classical violinist Angèle Dubeau accompanied by her long-time all-female string ensemble, "La Pieta". The album came out about a month and a half ago, but I didn't realize it contained this piano and string version of "Morning Has Broken".
The album was recorded after the artist battle with breast cancer. She said she took refuge in the songs of the artists presented on the album and that obviously include our Cat.
From liner notes:
“BLANC like purity and serenity. BLANC for luminous music that can bring interior peace through its strength and powerful evocation. Fully charged emotions that reflect the strange
solitude found in illness.
After months of battle against cancer, music has been my focal point, it has brought me
comfort, tranquillity and sometimes, an essential escape. This music is of Brubeck, Dompierre,
Golijov, Hisaishi, Morricone, Mozetich, Munsey, O’Connor, Phillips, Sakamoto, Schyman and
Stevens. A music without artifice, real and filled with hope.
This album tells my story, the story of a woman like many others who had to fight against illness and, serenely, came out of it stronger.”...
You can listen to the complete track at the following address (scroll down) and you can actually buy it. Some of the proceeds will go to the fight against breast cancer.
Morning Has Broken (E. Farjeon/Cat Stevens/Rick Wakeman) played by Angèle Dubeau (violin) and "La Pieta" (string ensemble). Piano: Louise Lessard. Arrangements: Gilles Ouellet

I should add that the CD was number one in sales at the music chain store where I bought my copy today and a lot of the tracks are played all the time on that classical radio station from Montreal.
