<< -- 3 -- Patric Standford A TRADITIONAL APPROACH
That Kelly has a gift for creating intense musical expression from the
most simple ingredients is nowhere better demonstrated here than in the
little carol This Lovely Lady Sat and Song, a piece crying out to
be a regular item in the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Cambridge
each Christmas [listen -- track 29, 0:00-0:59].
This is an excellently produced CD, with a fine balance of sound, and
John Reid's organ accompaniment comes over well throughout. There is a small
error in the numbering of tracks in the booklet; the Missa Brevis is 21-25,
not 26, which puts later tracks out by one. The CD cover is right, though!
