Format:Audio CD
The first piece on the cd is the setting of 5 poems by Henry Newbold, the "Songs of the Fleet". This performance alone is worth the price of the disk. Gerald Finley is a stunning soloist, a beautifully produced voice, even throughout the range, and right for this quintessentially-British music. The chorus and orchestra are excellent and the recording is rich, clear and full - ideal qualities for music of this type. The level on the stereo layer is on the low side, but, with the volume turned up, it sounds beautiful and powerful.

This setting is a masterpiece, only those allergic to British music will not be deeply moved by it. The "Revenge" setting is well performed, in spite of the odd moment of strain among some of the chorus. "The Songs of the Sea" are the equal of any other recording, with Finley, again, a wonderful soloist.

That Stanford is a seriously under-rated composer is well- known among those who love his music. This cd should do lots to put this situation right, it should sell in large numbers and deserves to do so.

Sit down, turn up the wick, look at the words and bathe in a glorious musical experience, then tell your friends to go out and buy this cd, that they may do the same.

Sublime 17 Sep 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not a fan of this type of music usually but I have to say, this wonderful cd has completely taken me by surprise. I read a magazine review praising it and thought "I'll give it a try". The first track on the cd will blow you away. The whole first cycle will amaze you. It is so beautifully sung. Stanford has written some wonderful music here but Hickox and co have taken it to another level. "Songs of the Fleet" and "Songs of the Sea" are magnificent on this cd and I doubt there will ever be a recording this good again.

Excellent recording 14 Sep 2011
Format:Audio CD
This is a splendid recording of Parry's Songs of the Sea and the Fleet. This CD is a worthy successor to the old LP with Luxon singing. The 'Revenge' on this CD is a fine bonus.
