Volante Opera Productions - The Complete Songs Of A. A. Milne (And Lewis Carroll) By Harold Fraser-Simson [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Available for the first time, all sixty-seven songs composed by Harold Fraser-Simson (1872-1944) to the famous poetry of A A Milne. When we were very young, Now We Are Six, Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner are all represented on the album along with a complete recording of the pantomime The King's Breakfast.rrrAlso on the album are the collection of eight songs Fraser-Simson wrote using the words of Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland.rrThis album spans well known settings (Buckingham Palace, Halfway Down, Cottleston Pie & Vespers) to unknown and previously unrecorded works. rr

A wonderful nostalgia trip for those familiar with some of these songs from their youth and a brilliant album to listen along with children. Volante Opera Productions is proud to be able to release this comprehensive collection so that future generations will be able to listen to and enjoy a piece of British musical history that otherwise would be lost to time.rr

Recorded by a team of seven singers (Julian Boyce, Simon Crosby Buttle, Helen Greenaway, Rosie Hay, Philip Lloyd-Evans, Francesca Saracino & Stephen Wells) and pianist Frederick Brown - all of whom appear by arrangement with Welsh National Opera.

'Baritone Philip Lloyd-Evans [x85] produces the perfect mixture of sadness and befuddlement [in Christopher Robin is going]. All the other singers here are equally fine. I especially liked tenor Simon Crosby Buttle in The End, the last song in Now We Are Six, and in the well-known Buckingham Palace, where he shares honors with soprano Rosie Hay, whom I must mention for her rendition of Wind on the Hill from Now We Are Six. [x85] [This] Prima Facie version has seven very talented singers, which sometimes allows for interesting combinations of voices, and a chronological ordering, likely appealing for many listeners.' x96 MusicWeb International
