Description:

The two CDs of Elgar's song cycle are a collection of rarely heard, yet beautiful works that are truly British treasures. CD1 contains a number of songs with orchestral accompaniment, including the quietly nostalgic Op.59 cycle of songs, "The King's Way," which uses the melody from "Dignity No. 4," and the heroic "Follow the Colours," sung by a baritone, which demonstrates Elgar's patriotic spirit, CD2 is a collection of songs with piano accompaniment. You can enjoy listening to "The River" and "Torch" and compare them with the orchestral version. The beautiful voice of the soprano Montmorin will remain in your ears. Naxos Japan
