Title: Like Something From A Dream
Review: As Jean Redpath says: lullabies are "above all soothing, in a world increasingly lacking in calm spaces," and how right she is. This marvellous collection of gentle Scottish lullabies could surely lull you to blissful sleep, except it is so beautiful that you listen totally awake -- alertly, eagerly, holding your breath in admiration of each perfectly shaped phrase, the endlessly pure and reassuring voice, the delicately weighted lilting rhythms. One sighs with regret when the sound dies away. The guitar, cello and harp accompaniment are like human voices attuned to every mood. Would that our lives could always be watched over by such tenderness.
