This delightful recital of English songs brings together one of the form’s most distinctive and prolific composers, Peter Warlock, with a composer born in 1951 who continues very much in the tradition of the older composer – Frederick Howe whose selection of his own folksong arrangements dovetail neatly this aspect of Warlock’s output. Howe’s songs are receiving their world premier recordings. ‘Magpie’ by Warlock is also a world premier recording using the original text.
