Mark Padmore, Roger Vignoles - Britten / Finzi / Tippett-Songs [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.This enthralling new recording from Mark Padmore and Roger Vignoles finds its emotional heart in the theme of youth, and in particular the passage of time inherent in this all-too-transient phase of human existence.rOpening with Boyhoodu2019s End by Sir Michael Tippett (whose centenary falls in 2005), we are transported through Gerald Finziu2019s wondrous A Young Manu2019s Exhortationu2014to the poetry of Thomas Hardyu2014to three rarely performed works by Benjamin Britten. Who are these children?, twelve songs to words by William Soutar, is a fascinating response to the themes of innocent childhood (the u2018Scottishu2019 songs) and the tragic loss of this childhood (the u2018Englishu2019 songsu2014written as a reaction to war-time photographs published in 1941).rThe Sechs Holderlin-Fragemente have been neglected on the concert platform, not least because they are rare in Brittenu2019s song output as being in German. The music owes something to its composeru2019s love of the lieder of Hugo Wolf. Um Mitternacht is Brittenu2019s only setting of Goethe. There is some evidence that a cycle was planned, but in the event this single song had to wait till 1994 before it was published as part of the collection A Red Cockatoo & other songs.rRoger Vignoles sensitively brings life to the piano accompaniments beneath the ardent tenor of Mark Padmore, as performances and programme combine to create a most satisfying recital.
