About the album

This record has been long in preparation and is the first to be recorded by Cantabile since On the Tracks of the Comedian Harmonists.

Cantabile, are one of Britain’s longest- established vocal ensembles. Since they became widely known in the early nineteen-eighties they have mastered a wide array of musical styles and their flair for the stage continues to keep them in demand in theatres and cabaret as well as in concert halls and at festivals.

Een eersteklas album voor de late avond
Cantabile is een van de langst bestaande vocale ensembles van Groot-Brittannië. Sinds het ensemble in de vroege jaren '80 bij het publiek bekend werd heeft het een breed scala aan muzikale stijlen beheerst. Door de flair voor het podium blijft Cantabile gevraagd worden voor optredens in theaters, cabaret concertzalen en festivals. Het ensemble is voortreffelijk op het gebied van zowel klassieke muziek als comedy, van a capellafavorieten tot aan hedendaagse geestelijke muziek. Lullabyes and Goodbyes is het eerste album sinds On the Tracks of Comedian Harmonists.

Musicweb schreef over het album: “As to the singing itself well that's all first class. The four voices blend beautifully and there isn't a sour note to be heard. (…) As you'd expect, the contribution of Malcolm Martineau is first rate. (…)There's a great deal to enjoy here and I can imagine this being particularly restful and enjoyable late evening listening, perhaps with the fire burning gently and a glass of something warming at your elbow. Try this for something a bit different!”
