The booklet contains texts from each of the two performers and the reason why such a recording was made.
This is a superb recording. Emily and Alice both have pretty nice voices, and the songs selections is really good. On the other hand, some of the songs scores were altered and are more "pop"-like (for example In His Eyes which I played first when I got the CD has some unnecessary drums that make it sound like a simple slow. In fact, even if their voices are very nice, maybe there's not the required feeling in the way they sing some songs, maybe because they're not acting there, but just singing. It's globally a very nice recording though.
