CD Reviews

The best lullaby CD
John W. Goldsborough | Philadelphia, PA, USA | 08/09/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"We own many CD's of lullabies / lullabyes. This is the best one. The singing by Cantabile, a London-based male vocal quartet, is extremely polished, precise, and well-blended. The piano accompaniments are exquisite. The arrangements are wonderful. The pieces are generally traditional but comprise an excellent selection from all genres. There are three new and very high-quality songs -- one written for Cantabile, "Counting Up My Toes," and two settings of the Tolkien "Bilbo's Song" -- that have become instant classics for us. This disc is playable in a baby's room (and does not contain sudden dynamic shifts that would wake him/her), but it is also appropriate for an older child or adults. It is not dumbed-down "kids' music" in any sense. I highly recommend this disc."
