Terfel: Songs of My Welsh Home
The reviewers say:
The Sunday Herald (Halifax):
"The elegant simplicity of these old-fashioned tunes is a testament
to the musicality of Welsh culture
[Terfel] is a rarity - a trained
classical singer who can interpret traditional repertoire without sounding
like hes carefully picking his way through a poor neighborhood
in top hat, silk scarf, white kid gloves and tails
.Not only that,
but his range of vocal colour is astonishing
The attractiveness
of the songs, their picturesque melodies and above all, Terfels
beautiful voice, give this CD a claim to be heard by the wider world."
- Stephen Pedersen
The Record (Kitchener):
"Bryn Terfel is celebrated as one of the worlds great bass-baritones
.The
albums 19 tracks feature Welsh traditional songs, folk songs,
hymns and song settings of some of Waless finest poets, past and
present. Fans will want to pick up [this] release to hear the early
work of one of the worlds most popular singers
..Its
fascinating to hear the songs closest to Terfels heart that helped
shape his musical sensibility. His deep love of his homeland permeates
the album." - Robert Reid
