CD Reviews

Joyous, moving and unmissable
06/24/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A very enjoyable and varied selection of Scottish tunes by James Oswald (1710-1769). Oswald was a succesful composer during his lifetime, and became chamber composer to George III. The selection, whih includes ten of the twelve songs entitled "Colin's Kisses", is played by Concerto Caledonia. The instruments used are those that would have been played in Oswald's time: the musicians, led by David McGuinness, play with spirit and precision. The soloists, Catherine Bott and Iain Paton, are both wonderful. Bott's clear soprano is almost inhumanly beautiful, and Paton's sweet yet erotic tenor reveals an enjoyment of the music that gives the already exciting tunes an extra lift. Oswald's music contains romance, sex, pathos and humour; it is joyous, moving and unmissable."
