REVIEWS
"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."GRAMOPHONE, FEBRUARY 2005PROGRAM NOTES
