Subject: RE: This should set folk music back 100 year
am I allowed to be a little critical,of Ian and Sylvia.
they are much more preferable to any of the other videos[imo]and are excellent.
a very minor criticism, for example at 1.01,the quietening sounds prearranged almost orchestrated.[almost a classical approach]
it sounds like they might sing it the same way every time.
but the harmonies are excellent.,and they are two very fine singers,with a good general understanding of traditional singing
one of the advantages of solo unaccompanied singing is that there is complete freedom for the solo singer to perform differently every time.
