This fine recital of English song includes works by two of the most prominent composers in the genre – E J Moeran and Peter Warlock – and some fine items, first recordings, by Geoffrey Stern. Many of the songs are not otherwise easily found. The performances are fine too, by tenor Paul Martyn-West and pianist Nigel Foster. Previously available as Dunelm DRD0249.
