If not listen on Radio 3 What a briliant concert! Normally when classically trained singers sing folk music it sounds forced to me but this was superb. And the accompaniment by Giles Lewin was sparse but fitted so well. I have searched for a CD with this music on it but could not find one. Does anyone know of a CD with these songs by this duo?
