Query: A real pleasure -- would recommend it

I was intrigued with the title of this CD and thought I'd give it a try and was very pleasantly surprised. The music consists of songs from the turn of the last century, and there is a nice write-up in the CD of the songs that are sung with some background info. The singer has a beautiful soprano voice, very clear and pure in tone. Some songs I have heard before and others were not familiar to me, but overall I enjoyed most of them. I was particularly taken by the soprano's rendition of Bird in a Gilded Cage and found myself smiling throughout Pine Apple Rag. Also included is After the Ball and My Wild Irish Rose. If you are in the mood for something different, give this CD a try! The singer is expressive and the songs are refreshing to hear.
