I know I dream : the orchestral sessions

"These arrangements - most by Tommy Laurence, a few involving Jim Tomlinson's hand with or without a partner - fit Kent like a glove, playing to her quiet strengths. The material is first-rate, with Jobim gems and French tearjerkers sharing space with appealing songs Tomlinson co-wrote with (either) Cliff Goldmacher, Kazuo Ishiguro, or Antonio Ladeira. And the musicians, of course, deserve high marks in working to the parameters of the Stacey Kent aesthetic. While this is but one more jewel in a discography with many, it's one that deserves singling out for its luster".

"Stacey Kent's mezzo-soprano voice is a beautiful instrument for offsetting orchestral accompaniment, a fact that I Know I Dream illustrates well. The orchestra, a 52-piece London studio assemblage, has a lushness that would smother Nelson Riddle - yet Kent cuts through it effortlessly ... A nearly perfect vocal jazz album".
