Julianne Baird, Evelyn Tubb, and Emma Kirkby

This Continuum presents three major early music sopranos with performances of the music they enjoy singing the most. The singers are Julianne Baird, Evelyn Tubb and the inimitable Emma Kirkby. All three of these ladies have produced dozens of CDs over the past four decades ranging from Greensleeves to the music of J.S. Bach. All are heard on this very delightful program. The recordings used are: Greensleeves (Baird, McFarlane) - Dorian DOR 90126, The Mad Lover (Tubb & Kelly) - Musica Obscura 070987, J. S. Bach Cantatas (Ensemble Sonneire) - Veritas 7243 5 45038 2 5, and Duetti da Camera (Kirkby &Nelson) - L’Oiseau-Lyre 436 861-2.
