Delius & Ireland - Part songs

Somm CD 0119

A specialised disc, probably of most interest to younger students who enjoy singing this repertoire, here expertly directed by a specialist, Paul Spicer, and older collectors reminded of their youth....

For the general listener there is a tendency towards sameness; the best reward is a reminder of the poetry, English (Ireland) and continental (Delius) with English translations provided.

Nice to hear some pieces, e.g. songs of a summer night on the water, which might be the original versions of familiar orchestral music?

Production excellent, as is usual from Somm, with strong black print on glossy white paper!
