Louis' first CD was sponsored for the Three Choirs Festival in Hereford in 2006 and features delightful songs in English and French, accompanied by the superb pianist Eve Barsham, the cousin of the Boy Soprano Derek Barsham. Please note that a very few original pressings are left. Please contact me for the price of these.
