CD Reviews

A cross-section of handbell ringing in England

02/25/1999

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This recording includes contributions by four handbell ensembles in England, all very different. For the most part, the CD consists of English folk tunes, carols, and change ringing. The change ringing group is well worth a listen, as it is the latest incarnation of the ancient art form that made England the "Ringing Isle." The other ensembles very much reflect the "community band" concept, with all that entails: much enthusiasm and excitement, but rough around the edges. For the collector, though, this is an important piece of handbell ringing history and well worth having."
