Gill Sans SUBS 10th Mar 2024		Classical Item Bryn Terfel, Malcolm Martineau - The Vagabond	This fine set has received glowing reviews, which I fully endorse. The Gramophone Music Guide says "There's a boldness about Terfel's art that could be perilous, but which, as exercised here, is marvellously well guided by musicianship, intelligence and the genuine flash of inspiration. Malcolm Martineau's playing is also a delight: his touch is as sure and illuminating as the singer's" [YouTube Video]

Gill Sans SUBS 9th Mar 2024		Classical Item Cappella Mediterranea, Leonardo García Alarcón - Sacrati: La Finta Pazza	La finta pazza ("The Feigned Madwoman") 1641, is said to be the first opera ever performed in France (in 1645). Some of the music bears striking similarities to the score of Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea, prompting scholars to speculate that Sacrati had a part in composing the surviving version of that opera.

Gill Sans SUBS 3rd Mar 2024		Classical Item Ian Bostridge, Julius Drake - The English Songbook	W.B. Yeats' poem "The Cloths Of Heaven" Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Gill Sans SUBS 26th Feb 2024		Classical Item York Minster Choir, Philip Moore - Best-loved Hymns From York Minster	This compendium of Favourite Hymns starts with a resounding Fanfare; while that is not a Hymn you can imagine them setting up for the recording and capturing this organ piece which was then used on the record.

Gill Sans SUBS 27th Jan 2024		Classical Item Gérard Souzay - An Die Musik	Gérard Souzay was noted more for the accuracy of his singing than for the strength of his voice, and what better way to show this than in the Schubert art-song An die Musik, accompanied by his partner Dalton Baldwin.
