Produced by Cantabile

'Madrigal' was recorded at Victoria Memorial Hall in Singapore in February 2001, and features 15 tunes, ranging from sacred early Christian music like Weelkes' 'Hark, all ye lovely Saints above,' Passereau's 'Il est bel et bon,' and Wm. Byrd's 'Agnus Dei' to a wonderful 'Tribute to the Beatles' medley of 18 Fab Four classics and 'Yesterday,' to Gershwin's 'Summertime,' Rodgers and Hart's 'My Romance' and Sinatra's 'Strangers in the Night.' Two bonus tracks include Richard Rodney Bennett's 'A Good Night,' commissioned by Paul McCartney from 'A Garland for Linda,' and 'Brahm's Lullaby.' Certainly an odd repertoire mix, but Cantabile's perfectly pitched, fresh, joyous sound works well with just about anything they choose to perform.
