Bryn Terfel's 'Songs Of My Welsh Home' is a heartfelt tribute to the traditional Welsh songs that have shaped his musical heritage. This enchanting album, released in 2000 on the Marquis Classics label, showcases Terfel's rich baritone voice as he performs a collection of 19 timeless tracks.
The album features a range of beautiful songs, including 'Can Yr Afon (The River's Song)' and 'Yr Eira Ar Y Coed (The Snow On The Trees)', which are accompanied by gentle harps, while pianos support him on 'Mab Y Mynydd (Son Of The Mountain)'. Many of the songs are performed a cappella, highlighting the musicality of the Welsh language and Terfel's masterful vocal delivery.
With its duration of 57 minutes, 'Songs Of My Welsh Home' is a poignant and intimate recording that celebrates the beauty of Welsh music. Although the album is credited to Elsbeth M. Jones in some sources, it is indeed the renowned Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel who brings these traditional songs to life. Through his powerful and expressive voice, Terfel shares his deep connection to his Welsh roots, creating a truly unforgettable listening experience.
