5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!
No listener to this CD will be disappointed.

I wasn't really blown away by Riddle's music. And as much as I admire Miss Kanawa's talents as a soprano I don't think she really quite pulled it off. But still, compared to the music of today this is still like a breath of fresh air and I am glad I got this album as it fills an important gap in my collection of Mr. Riddle's music. His albums with Linda Ronstadt are much more satisfying but that shouldn't put anyone off from getting this album.
