CD Reviews

Lovely music

Victoria Suarez | Richardson, Texas | 12/12/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this album! It is a wonderful combination of cellos and voices, old and new music."

Classy!

John Pickard | Bethesda. MD United States | 04/30/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Daryl Runswick's arrangements are at once classy, wonderfully imaginative and humourous. They range from the contemplative (making masterful use of the 'cello's melancholy sounds) to the downright jazzy. His earlier work in arranging for the King's Singers shines through. This is a 'must-have' in any Christmas collection. But don't wait for Christmas - hey, this stuff is good listening at any time."
