Contents
Works
'Tis but a week, H146A Dead Violet
A Dirge
Adoration
All Things that We Clasp
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Come to Me in my Dreams
Cradle Song
Dawn and Evening
Day after day
Dear, when I look into thine eyes
Dweller in my deathless dreams
E'en as a lovely flower
Fair daffodils
Far, far from each other
Golden hair, H165
Go not, happy day, H34
If I could choose
Into her keeping
Isobel
Journey's End, H167
Lean close thy cheek
Love is a rose
Love went a-riding, H114
Mantle of blue
Music, when soft voices die
My pent-up Tears Oppress My Brain
Night Lies on the Silent Highways
O that it were so!
So early in the morning
Sonnet 'When most I wink'
So perverse, H61
Speak to me, my love!
Strew No More Red Roses
Tears, idle tears
The Devon maid
The Last Invocation
The primrose
The violets blue
Thy hand in mine
What shall I your true love tell?
When you are old, H142
Where'er my bitter teardrops fall
Where is it that our soul doth go?
Where she lies asleep
Artists
Janice Watson (soprano)Louise Winter (mezzo-soprano)
Jamie MacDougall (tenor)
Gerald Finley (baritone)
Roger Vignoles (piano)

About
This important release brings together all forty-five of the songs composed by Frank Bridge. The programme is presented generally along chronological lines, and although the songs were written over two decades, there is a remarkable consistency of style.
A good number of the texts will be familiar from the songs of, say, Quilter or Finzi, but many more show Bridge’s enthusiasm for unearthing rather less well-known literary subject matter.
‘These two CDs, finely recorded and thoughtfully presented, are a most timely and valuable addition to the catalogue’ - Gramophone
‘This fine collection of settings by poets as diverse as Herrick, Heine and Tagore is full of surprises and beautifully performed by all, especially pianist Roger Vignoles’ - The Observer
‘Prepared and performed with the care and conviction for which Hyperion is famous. Those who simply love vocal recitals will find plenty of enjoyment in these well-documented discs, as well as a further revelation of the wealth of ‘English Renaissance’ contributions to art song. Distinguished performances of little-known but substantial, and often impressive, repertoire’ - Classic CD
‘Another superb collection of songs’ - Financial Times
