Description
Somm Recordings is delighted to present a revelatory collection of orchestral songs by Sir Edward Elgar performed by two of today's most exciting young singers – mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge and baritone Henk Neven – accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth. The Hills of Dreamland takes its title from a line in Elgar's well-known setting, beautifully still and beseeching, of Arthur L Salmon's Pleading. A Bonus Disc of recordings made under the auspices of the Elgar Society showcases soprano Nathalie de Montmollin and pianist Barry Collett in a collection of piano-accompanied songs. It includes first recordings of the piano version of 'Winter' from The Mill Wheel (with its churning left-hand patterns and a text by the composer's wife) and the world-weary tread of Muleteer's Serenade, setting words from Cervantes' Don Quixote.
