This two-disc set entitled An Anthology of English Song is just what it says it is: a very generous collection of 53 selections drawn from 13 separate discs of songs by English composers from Stanford to Britten. Some were first issued in the '90s on the late Collins label. Some were first issued in the 2000s on the vibrant Naxos label. But all ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Like those of his predecessor Franz Josef Haydn, the British folk song settings of Ludwig van Beethoven are an underappreciated corner of his output. Commissioned by Scotsman George Thomson for publication as parlor music, they present a simple, rustic face that hides a deceptively clever and often technically demanding musical texture. Indeed, ...

composed by Benjamin Britten

This Peter Grimes from 2004 is most noteworthy for the outstanding performance of the LSO, which plays with sonic depth and vigor and benefits from conductor Colin Davis' many years of experience with the piece. It may be the finest orchestral realization of the score yet put to record. The cast is also excellent, headlined by Glenn Winslade and ...

composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

A live set of Beethoven's symphonies is almost guaranteed to have some flaws, and as much as one may enjoy the exciting playing on this 2006 Edinburgh Festival cycle by Charles Mackerras with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, audio defects detract a little from the package. In the four discs with the first ensemble, ...

composed by Herbert Howells

As a composer of British choral music, Herbert Howells is sometimes considered a follower of Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and Hubert Parry.
