4.0 out of 5 stars Very good English folksongs - highly recommended, June 13, 2000

This review is from: Cruel Mother (Audio CD)

This is a very stylish selection of 14 English ballads and folksongs which after hundreds of years in oblivion at this century were revived, especially thanks to the pioneer counter tenor Alfred Deller. Deller is one of the most influential singers in this century and he revived the counter tenor voice for medieval, renaissance and baroque English music. This selection is highly recommended as a sample to his art. I omitted the star as there is only 43 minutes of music.
