Thread Name: Lovely versions of Robert Burns Songs
Subject: RE: Lovely versions of Robert Burns Songs
N.B. there is a difference between the Serge Hovey / Jean Redpath 'Songs of Robert Burns' series of recordings (incomplete) which I believe are available from Greentrax and the 12 volume set by Linn Records / Fred Freeman which appeared more recently - - -IMHO a great deal more research and preparation went into Serge's work, he spent something like 25 years on the background to the project and arranging the works - as 'folkies' you might not want to sing the orchestral arrangements, but you must acknowledge the wealth and depth of background that went into this archive!
