The Art of Kenneth McKellar. There are fifty selections on the double cd and each and every one of them a gem. The material ranges from opera to ballads, folksongs, art songs, popular songs and sacred music. McKellar glides effortlessly from genre to genre and has you believing you are hearing these pieces for the first time.

Then there is the simple hymn I To the Hills that will have the hair on the back of your neck standing at attention. The Art of Kenneth McKellar
