"A
gorgeous, generous recital of music that I love deeply...The amazing Baird’s
exceptional, lightly nuanced voice is naturally reproduced (and has never
sounded younger or fresher)...The small Lux Musica ensemble (flute, violin and
cello) enhances the sensual pleasures of the music."
LAURENCE VITTES, AUDIOPHILE
AUDITION 2004 "Julianne Baird has never
been in lovelier voice as she spins out the lines with subtle elegance,
responding warmly to the hints of local colour, Scotch snaps and the like, in an
entirely natural manner...the Lux Musica ensemble excels...'Celtic Caravans'
provides almost indecent pleasure. Gregory K. Squires has captured the colours
in an intimate, demonstration-class recording."
GRAMOPHONE, FEBRUARY 2005 *
* * Julianne
Baird has
been hailed as "one of the most extraordinary voices in the service of
early music that this generation has produced. She possesses a natural
musicianship which engenders singing of supreme expressive beauty." She
maintains a busy concert schedule of solo recitals and performances of baroque
opera and oratorio.
Linda Burman-Hall,
best known
as a performer of historic keyboard works, is active not
only as a recitalist and ensemble director, but as a research
musicologist and professor at University of California, Santa Cruz, where she teaches research techniques, early keyboards, chamber music and
courses in world music. She has an extensive recording catalogue, and continues
to contribute to the world's available recorded repertoire.
