Historic recordings of some of the great singers of yesteryear include numerous performances of salon type songs with an obbligato instrument. Susanna Phillips, Paul Neubauer, and Anne-Marie McDermott continue this tradition with the SPA Trio. These stellar artists first performed together in 2011 in Curacao, in the Netherlands Antilles, and have enjoyed exploring and performing songs of this parlor style from the 19th- and 20th-century European tradition.
