Each to their own obviously, but I'm pretty much with G-Force here.

Britten's Lykewake has fine tunes, but I'm afraid that I find the flowery delivery and vibrato of Peter Pears entirely unlistenable.

Folk songs (indeed any sort of song) is, in my opinion, best sung in a natural voice.

But I wish you well, Oxymoron. (as long as you don't think, as far too many here do, that your name is a synonym for contradiction).
