Spirituals, Folk Songs, Madrigals, Drinking Songs

During their European tour in the early 1990s, the critics in Europe were quite ecstactic about the repertoire found on this recording. Madrigals and drinking songs are part of the repertoire of this choir which enjoys an enviable international reputation. Features saucy rounds by Purcell, English folk songs including Vaughan Williams' 'Greensleeves ' and Percy Grainger's arrangements of 'Brigg Fair' and 'Irish tune from County Derry', beautiful interpretations of seven spirituals including 'I Can Tell the World', 'Wade in the Water' 'Ac–cent–tchu–ate the Positive' and 'Now is the Month of Maying'. Press quotes:
“'I can tell the World' and 'Deep River' proved the worthy voices, the homogeneity and the captivating intonation of this vocal ensemble.”
— Osnabrücker Zeitung “sung with infectious joy and rhythm”— Stefan Hansen, Naestved Times “performed with great expressive strength”— Regina Leistner, Berliner Morgenpost “these young acapella singers obviously relish the uncloistered repertoire ... interpreted with great beauty ... sheer pleasure.”— Mike Daly, The Age - Green Guide Audio preview:
