MY
LOVE IS LIKE A RED RED ROSE
Meredith Hall and the musicians of La Nef
pay homage to the prolific Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) with
this selection of songs and instrumental pieces on the theme of love.
The talented soprano sings in the Scottish and English dialects of the
period, interpreting the texts of Robert Burns with striking aptness and
a rare intensity. In his adaptations of these pieces, the virtuoso Sylvan
Bergeron has enhanced the rhythms of the dances and brought out
the beauty of the melodies.
Meredith Hall : soprano
Sylvain Bergeron : lute, baroque guitar
