About
The many gems on this recording include the bitter-sweet Sea Fever (1913), with its yearning strophic melody sailing on an accompaniment that is varied with each verse, the dark, fatalistic Three Songs to Poems by Thomas Hardy and the heart-rending Her Song, one of Ireland’s most beautiful.
Ireland’s failure to find love is perhaps best expressed in the bleak cycle Two Poems of A.E. Housman.
This is the 18th disc in the English Song Series.
