[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Monday 11 June 2001
"Barbara Bonney has a lovely voice and she knows how to use its relatively light but extremely agile qualities to fine effect. She's accurate in intonation and tasteful in expressive mannerisms...how pretty everything is-it's really a pleasant sound and it's amazingly consistent across the years that the performances were made, from 1986-1999."
