One usually hears these songs sung by tenors, and it's a wonderful change to hear them in Hvorostovsky's dark honey velvet baritone, bringing a new dimension to this well loved and often played music. His Italian is flawless and there's an emotion to his interpretation that's genuine and moving.

The booklet insert (which includes all the lyrics and side by side English translations), says: "With a voice of burnished beauty, warm and liquid in tone, and a superb capacity for eloquent phrasing, and stunning, long-spun phrases, Hvorostovsky is a natural for this repertoire". Well said...I think this phenomenal singer is perhaps the finest voice in opera today, and this CD adds another facet to his extraordinary talent.

If you like punchy brass, big choirs and orchestras, then this is the disc for you. Great, full sound on most tracks, with some quieter, more restrained moments. Particular highlights Joy To The World (funky with big choir), This Christmas (punchy brass), and Some Children See Him (a quieter moment, with beautiful vocals by Brian's wife Michelle).

Highly recommended!!

John Ireland's songs are amongst the most finely-crafted anywhere. His sympathy with the poems he chooses is quite uncanny. He was always full of original harmonic ideas, reserving for his songs his richest creative energy. They are deceptively simple, and actually have to be sung carefully and with great intelligence. John Shirley-Quirk and Janet Baker had the technique and the passion to do it well. Here, there is rather too much warble, and general romantic frillery for my taste. A plainer and more expressive delivery would surely have worked wonders. This CD is most welcome because it performs seldom-heard parts of John Irelands work. The piano-work is uniformly excellent and the CDs publication is very welcome
