Mary,
     I love Bel Canto!  Their first album is called _White-out 
conditions_ and is somewhat difficult to find.  (At least it was
for me.)  Their second album is called _Birds of passage_ and is,
in my opinion, their best.  If you liked _Shimmering..._ then
find _Birds..._  For their first two albums they were a trio.
_Shimmering warm & bright_ is their 3rd and most recent album,
and they have pared down to a duo.  I don't know about any
plans for a new album.  Enjoy!

Michael
