This review is from: Images de Noël (Audio CD)

I have always enjoyed Benjamin Britten's music & used to sing quite a lot of it, as well as John Jacob Niles' arrangements, which I found I absolutely had a passion for. The tracks on this CD are excellent. All musicians are extremely talented & have a definite connection with one another as well as with their audience. Listening is like being at the performance. The acoustics are wonderful & took me back to when I used to perform in churches & auditoriums & the voice & instruments were carried naturally. If you like these composers & enjoy simple, yet intricate arrangements, I'm sure you will find this collection to your liking.
