A Trip To Killburn: Playford Tunes And Their Ballads
If you need to transform a negative mood into a joyful frolic, enjoy this jovial anthology of top  tunes from the 17th century . These exquisitely executed pieces magically transport you to a 300-year old  musical event, with an irresistible and beguiling puckishness. The real sensation is soprano Custer LaRue--quel nom!--who appeallingly dissolves the borders between classical, folk and pop through her  heartfelt phrasing and everywoman tone. With musical aplomb, a well-focused sound and teasing vibrato,  she charmingly communicates comprehensibly and directly the stories of another universe. This thoroughly  enjoyable musical experience is a must have for all types of music lovers.--Barbara Eisner Bayer
