Reviews

July 2011

Like the proverbial cup, this delightful disc brimmeth over with good cheer...Owens's refreshing approach to Sidney Carter's hackneyed Lord of the Dance is nicely juxtaposed against the solidity of Biebl's men-only Ave Maria...As a musical sequence, this rich and colourful programme works well and will undoubtedly provide support and succour to all those who hear it.
