5.0 out of 5 stars for devotees of english music 7 Sep 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a superb collection featuring one of the very best of English tenors-the incomparable ian Partridge.Not all the works are that well known and to have them in one collection is almost too good to be true.
This 2 CD set represents outstanding value for money.
Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential English song music 9 Nov 2009
By Mr. A. R. Boyes TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very competitively priced recording that allows, particularly, an opportunity to get to know Peter Warlock's darker music after hearing the popular Capriol Suite. Even the Capriol Suite has a sting in the taile as the finale adds a few dissonances. The Curlew is the highlight: music that is daringly chromatic and emotionally very dark, whilst still retaining an English pastoral feel. Warlock must have been in a particularly dark place when writing these songs of unrequited and lost love; it's no surprise that he committed suicide - allegedly. His carols and folk settings are an attractive filler after such a dark and unsettling piece.

I've concentrated my comments on the Warlock pieces because the Vaughan Williams works are much more familiar and thus contain few surprises. Suffice to say that they come with top recommendations.

For the remaining works of both Vaughan Williams and Warlock you will be very hard pressed to find better interpretations even if this is quite a vintage recording. The sound quality stands up well and the performances cannot be beaten.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best vocal bargains ever! 7 July 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Here are some of the greatest vocal recordings of the Twentieth Century. Ian Partridge was without equal in this repertoire and I cannot imagine anyone bettering these superb renderings. I have loved these performances since they were first issued on LP and it is luxury indeed to have them collected on two discs at a rock-bottom price; very pleasant to have the other items too! Buy this set: it is an absolute steal.
