I have nothing but admiration for the singing on this disc, the young singers produce a lovely clear sound and form a sophisticated ensemble when it comes to the various styles of music required of them in these pieces. Desmond Earley is clearly a talented director, but I did wish that his choice of programme had had a little more edge and grit to it. As it is, this attractive selection does veer a little too often towards the romantic Celtic folk. For me it is a disc to dip into rather than listen to.
