Customer Reviews:

A wonderful and welcome release.......1999-11-18

No lover of Benjamin Britten's music will want to be without this beautiful recital! The singing and playing are unfailingly musical, insightful, and polished. This material has been under-represented in the CD catalogue for far too long - thanks and kudos to all involved for a recording that just gets better the more one listens to it.
