Description
'The aristocrat of English baritones', said Michael Oliver. He was a versatile singer, with a repertoire that stretched from Faure to Schoenberg, and his noble countenance made him perfect to sing Christ in Bach's St Matthew Passion, his signature role. But his eloquent and lyrical voice, combined with his impeccable enunciation, also made him the ideal exponent of English song, qualities that are clearly demonstrated in these recordings of Elgar, Somervell and Butterworth. These recordings are taken from an early SAGA LP of Elgar songs dating from 1969 and his farewell solo recording for Pearl in 1974 featuring Somervell'sMaudand Six Songs from 'A Shropshire Lad'.
