About this release

“Everyone involved in Jervaulx Singers has a passion for vocal music in all its forms. The varied repertoire of Les chansons des roses encompasses all that this choir is about– giving singers the freedom to sincerely express themselves through choral music, song and opera. This repertoire, all connected to earth and nature, reminds us to cherish the world around us.” Charlie Gower-Smith

“This is a beautifully balanced performance, lovingly relishing all the varied textures. The vocal sound is lovely and warm, yet you can hear every word of these poems that I found so inspiring.” Jonathan Dove
