These songs, from the "age of sentimentality" are fresh and rewarding to hear. The quartet of singers, the New York Vocal Arts Ensemble, render these popular songs from the turn of the century with grace, style, and sweet voices. The vocalists are restrained in their approach and keep things simple (best for these tunes). The vocal arrangements are traditional, fairly simple, but handled in such a way as to evoke sweet but not saccharine sensations.

The recording is perfectly balanced, Not the kind of sound is too dry.
