| | Beschreibung: | SOMM Recordings continues it's widely acclaimed championing of the music of Charles Villiers Stanford with a captivating collection of his Children's Songs by mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately and baritone Gareth Brynmor John, accompanied by pianist Susie Allan. Including numerous first recordings and the first complete album release of his setting of 14-year-old Helen Douglas Adam's enchanting Songs from the Elfin Pedlar, it throws revealing new light on an important but largely overlooked aspect of Stanford's output. Stanford, as his biographer and British music authority Jeremy Dibble comments in his authoritative notes, "was very much alive to the importance of children's participation in music" following the transformative introduction of signing to the school curriculum in 1870. This delightful compendium of songs intended for children reveals the composer to be as acutely sensitive to his eclectic choice of texts as to his intended audience. It features premiere recordings of the early, Robert Louis Stevenson-set A Child's Garland of Songs (Op.30), the mid-period Four Songs (Op.112) and later Six Songs (Op.175), together with seven other standalone songs, including the simple pastoral message of Summer's Rain and Winter's Snow and delightfully capricious Fairy Lures. SOMM's previous Stanford recordings include his String Quintets (SOMMCD 0623) and complete String Quartets (SOMMCD 0160, 0185, 0607) with the Dante Quartet, praised by Gramophone for their "ardent, alert and thoroughly lived-in performances", and Partsongs with the Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir led by Paul Spicer (SOMMCD 0128), which Limelight described as "excellent... beautifully sung". SOMM's world-premiere recording of The Travelling Companion (SOMMCD 274-2) was hailed "a landmark" by Gramophone, who lauded Songs of Faith, Love and Nonsense (SOMMCD 0627) as "a hugely enjoyable anthology... production values and presentation leave nothing to be desired"., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Artwork [Cover]: Beryl Peters, Baritone Vocals: Gareth Brynmor John, Booklet Editor: Michael Quinn (8), Composed By: Charles Villiers Stanford, Design: Andrew Giles (3), Engineer [Recording]: Paul Arden-Taylor, Liner Notes: Jeremy Dibble, Mezzo-soprano Vocals: Kitty Whately, Piano: Susie Allan, Producer [Recording]: Siva Oke, Labelcode SOMM655.2 (SOMMCD 0655), Phonographic Copyright (p) Somm Recordings, Copyright (c) Somm Recordings, Recorded At The Menuhin Hall | | | Herstellernummer: |
