Leslie Jost is a free-lance musician based in St. Marys, Ontario. She enjoys a professional career that has included engagements with the K-W Symphony, the Stratford Festival, Trinity Church (NYC), the Vermont Opera Theatre and many others in Europe, Canada and the USA. Her debut CD of Scottish Songs was recorded with Laura Burton and other musicians from the Stratford Festival at Owlsville Studio, owned and operated by Jim Neil, the Grand Theatre's sound engineer. Review: "Seven of the 12 songs on this CD by Leslie Jost are by Burns. Most are well-known favourites -- “Afton Water,” “Annie Laurie,” “O Whistle and I’ll Come to Ye, My Lad” and “The Piper o’ Dundee.” And whether it’s something plaintive and haunting, like “My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose” or “Ae Fond Kiss,” or jaunty and carefree like “Charlie is My Darlin’ ” or the “Lewis Bridal Song,” this young Ontario soprano gets right into the spirit in her lovely, pure, clear voice. ... To help with lyrics not so well known or remembered, the words are printed on the CD liner, as well as a glossary of Scottish terms. ..... So, whenever a feeling of Scottishness comes over you, here is a CD for some contented nostalgia." ----- Helen Grant: The Presbyterian Record
