Abstract

Last year I was offered for review a recording of a live song recital promoted jointly by the British Music Information Centre and the English Poetry and Song Society. Its attractions included a cameo appearance by tenor Ian Partridge and an important first recording of Ivor Gurney's Lights Out cycle, in the order proposed by Richard Carder. After hearing the disc, however, I thought it kinder to several of the other performers not to publish an opinion. What a pity, it seemed, that the organizers had failed to draw upon those strikingly fresh and technically secure voices that have recently emerged from our music colleges.
