Episode 310: 19310 The English Tenor


Listen Later

Scott Robert Shaw's debut "The English Tenor" takes us on a beautifully performed journey through a who's who of great English composers and their vocal works. The names Ivor Gurney, Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gerald Finzi and Roger Quilter are synonymous with English Song, and a Golden Age of British music. The wide variety of accompanying instruments and artists, the broad range of text settings, and the mix of cornerstone works of the repertoire alongside lesser-known cycles make "The English Tenor" a thrilling debut album.Five Elizabethan Songs - Ivor Gurney (1890-1937)Along the Field Ralph - Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)Four Songs, Op. 14 - Roger Quilter (1877-1953)8 Folksong Arrangements for High Voice and Harp - Benjamin Britten (1973-1976)Let Us Garlands Bring, Op. 18 - Gerald Finzi (1901-1956)Help support our show by purchasing this album  at:Downloads (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by Uber and Apple Classical. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber#AppleClassical Please consider supporting our show, thank you!Donate (classicalmusicdiscoveries.store) [email protected] album is broadcast with the permission of Sean Dacy from Rosebrook Media.
