Nana Mouskouri的不列颠古民谣专辑。 　　 　　by A. Remington 　　 　　I love British Isles traditional music. This collection is one of the BEST out there. Her accent might seem strange at first as she is Greek by birth, but the feeling she brings to the music helps one overlook it. Her rendition of "Skye Boat Song" might lead you to believe the tragedies had happened to HER people and within HER generation. Her voice lilts over the notes as you picture Charles Stewart, pretender to the throne skimming over the shining waves while fleeing to the Isle of Skye. I'm not sure how she does with the language but Suo Gan, the famous Welsh lullaby, is quite lovely. These songs all have a history and I wonder if she researched them first so she'd be able to better interpret them . Melodically, she has a much higher voice than Jean Redpath, a Scotch traditional musician, and lacks the accent as previously mentioned but her voice is so extremely pleasing that even more lamenting themes, such as Skye Boat, come off as being uplifting. It's an older recording but since I've discovered it, it has become one of my essentials.
