Info zu Greensleeves - Folk Music of the British Isles

Greensleeves is a celebration of music spanning the length and breadth of the British Isles, featuring mesmerising new arrangements by Geoffrey Webber and Toby Young of some of the most beautiful folk music ever written. The recording includes Loch Lomond, Lisa La?n and of course, perhaps the most famous British melody ever written Greensleeves.

"I don't know what they're putting in the coffee over there at Signum Classics, but this is another brilliant wonder, and obviously a labour of love for all concerned." (Classical Nowhere)

"Best are solo contributions from soprano Eloise Irving and tenor Matthew Vine, who take the lead in the exquisite opener, Lisa Lan." (Gramophone)

"This is a disc which works because the singers combine fine musical quality with a sympathy and enthusiasm for their material, giving us a delightfully evocative 50 minutes." - Planet Hugill, May 2016 "The best is Holst's version of 'I Love My Love', which develops from simplicity gradually into more elaboration that works." (Early Music Review)

"Here's a richly satisfying traversal of British songs delivered with consummate feeling and eloquence by the Armonico Consort...a delightful recital sung with entrancing beauty." (Choir & Organ)
