Silent Noon (2004) more music like this

performed by Bryn Terfel (bass baritone), Malcolm Martineau (piano)
composed by Arthur Somervell, Benjamin Britten, Charles Villiers Stanford, Dilys Elwyn Edwards, Frederick Keel, Hubert Parry, Ivor Gurney, Michael Head, Peter Warlock, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilter, Thomas Dunhill

Bryn Terfel's overdue sequel to his highly successful The Vagabond (1995) dips deeper yet into the barrel of English song, hauling up a number of unfamiliar composers and songs, and interspersing them with favorites by Roger Quilter, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Benjamin Britten. It's a far more diverse collection than The Vagabond, lavishing ...

composed by American Traditional, Arthur Sullivan, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Frederick Loewe, George Frederick Handel, Giuseppe Verdi, Gustav Mahler, Hector Berlioz, Ivor Gurney, James P. Carrell, John Hughes, John Ireland, John Rutter, Richard Rodgers

Neither the title A Song in My Heart nor the subtitle "Portrait of the Artist" quite gets across what this album is: a selection, by Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel himself, of his own favorites from the roughly 30 he has recorded for the Deutsche Grammphon label. He's a prolific guy, and his talents range from Wagner to Welsh-language songs to ...

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 ...

composed by Edward Elgar, Frederick Kelly, Hubert Parry, Ivor Gurney, Lilian Elkington

Epoch has gathered five pieces by British composers written in response to the Great War. There is no chest-thumping nationalism evident here, but deeply sad portraits of the devastation of war. The centerpiece is Elgar's three-movement cantata, The Spirit of England, for soprano, tenor, chorus, and orchestra, based on freshly written poetry by ...

On Wenlock Edge (2008) more music like this

performed by Andrew Kennedy (tenor), Dante Quartet, Simon Crawford-Phillips (piano)
composed by Ian Venables, Ivor Gurney, Ralph Vaughan Williams

The two unifying themes of this song recital are the pastoral poetry of A.E. Housman and the unusual setting for tenor and piano plus string quartet. Though Vaughan Williams' On Wenlock Edge came first in 1909 followed by Ivor Gurney's Ludlow and Teme in 1919 and then by Ian Venables' Songs of Eternity and Sorrow in 2004, all three song cycles ...
