Disappointment

Dufay | 10/17/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I love these songs, and it is very interesting to compare the Burns songs that Haydn set wtih more traditional folk settings. However, these CD sets (4 in total) are disappointing. I am not sure if it's the balance between voice and instruments, but one can barely understand any words from Lorna Anderson. Her voice is thin, and tends to be shrill in the higher register. Jamie McDougall is much more successful in projecting and making the words understood. This series would have been much more interesting and successful if the singers varied- as in the Beethoven set of folk songs."
