Well known for her work with Alva, Sinfonye and The Dufay
Collective, Vivien Ellis is one of the finest female vocalists
of the present day. Equally at ease with world music,
mediaeval songs and contemporary ballads she interprets an
astonishing range of material in her new, multi-genre CD.
Sumptuously produced, the album encompasses the English
tradition, Brazilian samba; Appalachian spiritual; troubadour
song in Occitan; Irish, Scots/Gaelic and Bulgarian folk music,
as well as new dawn songs by contemporary writers. With
instrumentation that includes fiddle, accordion, guitars,
drums and electric bass û lute and viol, loops and effects -
this is a richly varied album that embraces both the spare
beauty of ancient song and full-on 21st century soundscapes.
