I first bought this recording 20 years ago, and it has never lost it's appeal for me. The singing is simple - as suits these simple yet eloquent songs - unmannered, lovely, with that incredible warmth that was intrinsic to everything this great singer recorded. When I am overwrought - as I am from time to time - nothing is as soothing to me as Ferrier singing "O Waly, Waly" or "Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal".

This is a beautiful CD. MS Ferrier's voice is perfect for these songs. If you truly enjoy traditional folk music this recording belongs in your collection.
