Songs by John Ramsden Williamson
MARK ROWLINSON (baritone); DAVID JONES (piano)
Generally, John Williamson’s songs are more traditional in style than his piano music and belong to that great tradition of English pastoral and lyric song exemplified by Warlock, Moeran, Finzi, Ireland, Vaughan Williams, Delius and many more very fine composers. However his style is individual and distinctive in its own right. These are heartfelt and most appropriate settings of poems of love, war, loss and regret and excellent additions to the canon of English song. Originally released as Dunelm DRD0265.
