About

The Dutch contralto Aafje Heynis had a dark, rich, altogether unique voice, and the story of her discovery in a Holland recovering from the ravages of World War II, told in the booklet notes, is heart-warming indeed… as is this collection put together from several of her recordings. Aafje Heynis is one of those singers whose recordings cause ABC Classic FM's phone lines to run hot when aired, and this wonderful recital of seven Bach and six Handel arias was put together at the instigation of the ABC's Colin Fox.
