Meditations for a Quiet Night
As long as we're slapping arbitrary titles on CDs that compile snippets from classical favorites, let's call this one,The Laura Ashley Album.Floral prints and lace curtains from start to finish, the entire disc is performed by the English String Orchestra under the baton of William Boughton. In spite of its packaging, this is actually a great CD for those who enjoy a cup of tea with their classical music. The featured composers include Vaughan Williams, Delius, and Elgar. The slow, pastoral, single-movement selections are lushly played and easy on the ear in every respect. Very nice. I'd like some lampshades to match.--Gwendolyn Freed
