This review is from: Cecil Armstrong Gibbs: Songs (Audio CD)

Nik Hancock-Child is one of the great 'undiscovered' voices of the 20th-century.
In this superb anthology of Armstrong Gibbs songs he displays his artistry via many subtle vocal shadings ranging from the 'whisper' (but with full tonal centre) to the grandiose. His exquisite diction is a model to be admired and emulated. With an amazing feeling for intonation and dynamics, Nik and his fantastic accompanist Rosemary have given us a wonderful and memorable CD of unjustly neglected songs by a 'minor master'.
