Beautiful vocals

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I came across Elin Manahan-Thomas first as the Soprano that recorded the lastest Bach piece found a few years back. I picked up this CD on a whim, and am very thankful for it. Her voice is very clear and controlled as she interprets Bach, Vivaldi, Purcell and other baroque pieces. There is a heavenly essence to her intrepretation of the first two tracks in particular. She also gives a very sweet performance of Bist Du Bei Mir. If I listen to even a portion of it, it will certianly be "stuck in my ear" for hours.



Elin has a light, lucid voice that is rich in purity. I have really enjoyed listening to her peaceful interpretations of these masters."
