Just the ticket for those who want to get acquainted with Karl Jenkins and Adiemus
This is sort of the middle ground between the Adiemus Collection (6 CDs) and the best-known of Karl Jenkins’ works discussed elsewhere. Either way, Jenkins is an important composer, and certainly quite prolific in his output there is certainly some overlap in the three CD offerings that I’ve reviewed, but that redundancy is hardly objectionable. As I said, it grows on you, and Jenkins does not disappoint.
