This review is from: Rosa Mundi (Audio CD)
June Tabor may very well be the finest interpretor of both the archaic and the modern.I can thing of no other singer with a better sense of drama,timing,and selection of melodic yet relevant material.Her pianist,Huw Warren owns a very fine sense of the appropriate and his style is reminiscent of Keith Jarrett.BUY THIS CD with no reservations!June Tabor is reviewed worldwide as one of the finest singers of this or any other generation.Six stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Return to Form for the Grande Dame of English Folk Music, August 29, 2002
By 
Michael J. Shogi (Reminderville, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rosa Mundi (Audio CD)
"Rose Mundi" is a return to form for June Tabor, after the disappointing "A Quiet Eye". Part of the reason for this lies in the fact that, with "Rose Mundi", June does more of what she does best: Sing traditional English Folk ballads. No one in the world (NO ONE) can match the expressiveness of her rich baritone. No one puts as much emotion into these types of songs as June. A case in point is the pauses and accents she inserts in "Maybe Then I'll Be a Rose", which beautifully convey the feeling of love's longing. I believe that another reason for June's return to form is the fact that the format of this disc as June's first "concept" record challenged her to greater heights. Finally, June's band is outstanding. As on previous efforts, Huw Warren should receive a medal for his work on piano. One listen to the delicateness of his introduction to "Paint Me, Redoute" will soften the hardest of hearts. Listen to Rose Mundi and experience perhaps the greatest English Folk balladeer ever at the peak of her powers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharing two passions with her listeners, December 9, 2004
This review is from: Rosa Mundi (Audio CD)
Singing and gardening are Tabor's two lifelong passions. If I were to compare her voice to a rose, I would have to call it Jackson and Perkin's "Voluptuous." The color is rich and strong and it's the old tea-rose you have grown up with at its finest. However, the background playing is almost black and white. Pianist Huw Warren is a genius at finding just the right place to punctuate Tabor's 'peaty' contralto and make the song bloom rich in your heart.

This album returns to Tabor's traditional roots. "Rose of Picardy" a popular WWI song about everlasting love is the newest of the songs. A notable cover is her "Barbry Allen." Tabor's interpretation highlights Barbry's emotions in a way that no man's version could.
