Celebrating the centenary of John Ruskin

Richard Edgar-Wilson, Coull Quartet.

The disc also includes other premier recordings of songs by Bax and Rubbra as well as Vaughan Williams’s immortal On Wenlock Edge.

Richard Edgar-Wilson Tenor
Coull Quartet
James Lisney Piano

“What riches there are in the combination of tenor and strings! Rubbra’s Spenser Love Sonnets glows here with an inner luminosity that is quite haunting and the two Medieval Songs are a real discovery. Richard Edgar-Wilson’s high tenor, never sounding forced, proves an admirable vehicle for this very English lyrical intensity” -Gramophone

“Rodgers is clearly a fine composer with a sincerity especially welcome these days” -Classic CD
