CD Reviews

Selections are leftovers, but Mera shines

03/05/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The unique voice and artistry of the versatile countertenor Yoshikazu Mera should be experienced by all music lovers. Volume 1 is a better choice than this CD, which is more of a hodgepodge. Still, there are gems here, including duets and recitatives by Bach that are sung with gorgeous tone and intense feeling."
