4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the earliest and loveliest of the Austen music recordings, November 21, 2010
This review is from: Jane's Hand: The Jane Austen Songbooks (Audio CD)
The lovely voice of Juliette Baird, with several other artists, delights in this selection of works taken from Jane Austen's music manuscripts. Music by Handel, Storace, Dibdin and other 18th-century composers performed with style and charm, and with humour when called for. This is a more aesthetically pleasing album than Baird's later 'Jane Austen's Songbook', which is laudable in the completeness with which it includes the contents of one of Austen's songbooks, but suffers a little by the randomness of the arrangement and is not as well recorded.
