5.0 out of 5 stars Dame Janet Baker, 2 Aug 2002
This is a wonderful CD of classic English folk songs that with be remembered by many who where at school in the 60's. The track "linden lea" by Vaughn Williams is the quintessential English country folk song full of late summer warmth and longing for days gone by. Dame Jane's' voice is perfection personified and will bring a tear to the eye, well worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars The very best of..., 5 Feb 2009
By Mrs. V. Turner "Aurora" (Cambridge Engalnd) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard Janet's sublime voice at an elderly uncle's funeral and asked around to find out who it was singing. I asked for this album for christmas and I have not been disappointed! Her silky voice makes for very easy listening. I know I shall enjoy her wonderful voice for many years to come.
