A musical delight
author: Lynn SwiridukStart your day with Ensemble Polaris and you will be on the path of delight for the entire day. I own their other disc 'Midnight Sun' and have been nearly autistic with it. This one will receive equally heavy play. The music is varied and evocative and the arrangements and interpretations are impeccable, by times, haunting and amusing. There is not much that is better than Ensemble Polaris.
