"This record contains 25 English part-songs or folk-song arrangements and is a good selection, with several items that will be new to all but the most comprehensively knowledgeable devotee. For instance, there is Stanley Wilson's setting of Frances Cornford's best-knownpoem, To a lady seen from the train, with its ostinato based on the once-familiar steam-train rhythm (how unevocative the diesels are). He also set Mary Coleridge's oddly named Gibberish, which turns out to be a gently sentimental piece... Included among the better-known fare are Holst's setting of the West Country Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, comfortably reassuring in its bare harmonies almost with an oriental touch, and Vaughan Williams's of The seeds of love, almost the fount and origin of the folk-song tradition in twentieth-century British music and a marvellous tune for all except those constitutionally antipathetic to the whole idiom. This latter is particularly beautifully sung, with (presumably) Anthony Holt's pleasant baritone free from any patronizing suggestions of the art-singer slumming it among the plebs. Elgar's Deep in my soul is here, too, also Moeran's To daffodils, three fine examples by Bridge, Parry's superb setting of Herbert's Sweet day and Vaughan Williams's early Rossetti part-song Rest, very much in the Parry tradition. Also there is Grainger's Brigg Fair setting, historic in its own right." The GRAMOPHONE (06/1988) |
