Osian Ellis (vocals, harp)About
What makes it even more of a collector's item is the fact that Ellis is both singer and harpist on this recording. It ranges from Baroque songs to music from the nineteenth century (Boughton's once-popular Faery Song) to folk songs from Wales, and includes a composition ('O mistress mine') by Ellis himself.
‘[the songs are] launched and sustained with arresting expressiveness. […] The whole gamut of moods in the Welsh songs is found to be more artfully arranged when one has played it through several times. I found many of the songs, unfamiliar at first, growing on me as I repeated them. […] I found the recording easy and realistic … and enjoyable.’ - Gramophone (April 1962)
