A programme of songs. First there were four poems by Hans Christian Andersen set to music by Robert Schumann. Next Ravel's Scheherazade, settings of Tristan Klingsor's poems inspired by the Arabian nights.
After the interval came English songs by John Ireland, from poems by Harold Monro, Thomas Hardy and Thomas Lovell Beddoes. Then four songs by ivor Gurney, and lastly A charm of Lullabies by Benjamin Britten. Some unusual lullabies here.
All wonderfully performed by the two musicians.
