About

This excellent release is a unique collection of English love songs by some of the great English composers of the 20th century, including Vaughan-Williams, Purcell, Britten, Dowland, Finzi and Warlock.
 
All of the songs are firm favourites: amongst the most well known are Silent worship, Where’er you walk, If music be the food of love and The salley gardens.

Mark Stone has sung at Covent Garden and is a regular guest at ENO, WNO, Glyndebourne and Opera North. He and Stephen Barlow regularly perform together as a recital duo and often appear on Radio 3 and in concert in the UK and abroad.

“…..this is not a recital restricted to one vocal hue. Each song is looked at and receives relevant
response from both singer and pianist. ….he (Mark Stone) introduces so much by way of nuance and
colour to make this a very interesting and fulfilling programme, one which is well recorded.”
International Record Review, March 2009
