If you're one of the dozens of people who enjoyed "An Edwardian Gentleman's Songbook," this CD is for you! For the rest of the population, this is a gentle and harmonious collection of songs, largely sung by ace tenor James Griffett, usually with piano accompaniment. In the time before television -- before radio, for that matter -- families would gather round the upright and sing songs like this, when they weren't singing Gilbert & Sullivan or working down the mines. It's beautiful and mellow, good music for when you're coming down off an absinthe binge or fastidiously at work on your latest monograph. The most famous song here is probably "The Lost Chord" by Arthur Sullivan, which was featured in the film Topsy Turvy. This CD, like its Edwardian doppelganger, is hard to find so snap up those online copies before your next fit of ennui.
