With Philip Langridge
'Impeccable artistry in the songs and eloquence in the guitar solos.'
Gramophone - Critics Choice 'This
is rather special: one of the finest British tenors plus a guitarist
who can obtain such a range of colour and expression from his instrument
that 74 minutes doesn’t seem a second too long. The performances
are outstanding. Superb recordings too: intimate without ever feeling
too close and finely balanced.'
BBC Music Magazine Editors Choice 
Contains the premiere recordings of Nicholas
Maw’s Six Interiors and Music of Memory.
