Title: A counter-tenor Collector's Item
Review: The first half of the cd covers Michael Chance and James Bowman singing Henry Purcell duets,(each with a solo.) Michael Chance sings Incassum Lesbia Rogas beautifully. My particular favorites are "Hark How the Songsters" where they switch parts so they each the first counter-tenor part. "In Vain the Amrous Flute" is a lovely piece also. Two entirely different voices which blend together perfectly. The secong half of the disc contains folksongs sung by Alfred Deller and his son Mark Deller, though Mark is only heard on a couple of duets. Their voices are an aquired taste for many, and the recordings are old, but the simplicity of the pieces is remarkable. If you are a counter-tenor, or favor the couter-tenor voice, I feel sure you will enjoy this disk.
