performed by Adrian Thompson (tenor), Delme String Quartet, Ian Burnside (piano), Stephen Varcoe (baritone)
composed by Ivor Gurney, Ralph Vaughan Williams

Ardent collectors of British art songs will quickly snap up this disc, but others may find an album of song cycles on A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad somewhat quaint and a bit of a specialty item. The three cycles -- On Wenlock Edge by Ralph Vaughan Williams and The Western Playland and Ludlow and Teme by Ivor Gurney -- date from 1907-1909 and ...

performed by Christopher Maltman (baritone), Felicity Lott (soprano), Geraldine McGreevy (soprano), Graham Johnson (piano), Jennifer Smith (soprano), John Mark Ainsley (tenor), Stella Doufexis (soprano), Stephen Varcoe (baritone)
composed by Gabriel Fauré

The first volume of Hyperion's complete Fauré songs is called "Au bord de l'eau" (by the water's edge) -- a reference to the French master's fondness for aquatic, nautical, and natural subjects in poetry, as well as to the title of one of his most famous songs. Having decided against a purely chronological survey of Fauré's songs, an approach that ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

Grandeur? Check. Glory? Check. Empire? Check. John Eliot Gardiner's justly celebrated 1985 recording of Handel's oratorio Solomon has as much pomp and circumstance as a royal coronation. Although not without its tendernesses and sensitivities -- the closing of Act I is as voluptuously beautiful in its way as the Love Duet from Tristan -- Handel's ...

performed by Ashley Stafford (counter tenor), Carolyn Watkinson (contralto), Donna Brown (soprano), Nigel Robson (tenor), Stephen Varcoe (bass), Monteverdi Choir (choir, chorus), English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner (conductor)
composed by George Frederick Handel

In all of Handel's works, there's nothing quite like Alexander's Feast. There's the Ode to St. Cecilia's Day, his other Dryden setting, but good as that work is, it remains a shorter, younger kid sister to Alexander's Feast. There are his later oratorios, but they almost all have plots of one kind or another, and Alexander's Feast is more of an ...

composed by Gabriel Fauré

Okay, so, no, the Hyperion French Song edition's four-volume survey of the complete songs of Fauré won't replace EMI's complete edition. But then, how could it? Featuring the ethereal Elly Ameling and the heroic Gérard Souzay along with stalwart accompanist Dalton Baldwin, the set was in its time and remains for all time the gold standard of ...

An Introduction to Percy Grainger (2006) more music like this

composed by Percy Grainger

This self-proclaimed Introduction to Percy Grainger focuses in all but a few cases on arrangements of folk songs of the British Isles. One might miss some of the diversity of Grainger's output -- Free Music for Theremin, for instance -- but it was certainly music related to folk song for which Grainger was and remains best known. This compilation ...

Schubert: The Complete Songs, Vol. 2 (1988) more music like this

performed by Graham Johnson (piano), Stephen Varcoe (baritone)
composed by Franz Schubert

Graham Johnson's idea of dedicating Vol. 2 of his Schubert edition to songs about water was, as they say, a natural. In all of Schubert's songs, water ranks below only flowers as a source of inspiration and he wrote some of the most delightful, the most awe-inspiring, the most suicidal songs as water songs. And although the volume of course does ...
