This review is from: Old English Nursery Rhymes (Audio CD)

It is amazing how Saydisc could put together 52 nursery rhymes in one CD. No detail has been overlooked. The selection strictly includes those nursery rhymes recognised by everyone as traditional. The pieces are organised according to some categories rather than to their age, which is in most cases uncertain. Nonetheless Mr. Barlow -director and arranger- has ensured that each piece is accompanied by the suitable instruments, according to their age. All this shows extensive research, which is also noticeable in the accompanying booklet, where the listener can take a look at the lyrics together with to-the-point information on both tunes and words. General information is also provided in the 'Introduction' where some reference books are mentioned which the reader is referred to for further information and analysis. The arrangements are lovely, keeping faithful to the original tunes. The fully digital recording technology is a plus and makes it a pleasure to listen to. Singers are superb. They show the full mood of the rhymes. I believe anyone who likes nursery rhymes will agree with me that there is no waste in this selction and that it perspires quality all through.
