About
Muriel Herbert (1897 – 1984) studied with Charles Stanford and Roger Quilter at the Royal College of Music, London. Her works consist mainly of songs inspired by poetry and works for violin and piano. This album focuses on her songs.
Herbert was inspired by the poetry of many, including Yeats and Joyce whom she met on many occasions. She was also intrigued by female poets such as Christina Rossetti. These songs, now all housed at the British Library Archive, have been brought back to life thanks to Herbert's daughter - the biographer Claire Tomalin.
The songs are hugely compelling and delightful, and influences of one of Herbert's favourite composers, Debussy, can be heard. Among the most popular are: Daffodils, Mirage, Autumn, Lost nightingale and Hips and haws.
James Gilchrist is in demand as a recitalist and chorus member and is a regular voice on BBC Radio 3 and a popular performer at the BBC Proms. He has sung at venues across Europe, America and the UK. His voice has been described as pure and sensitive with an even and beautiful tone.
In 2003 Ailish Tynan won the Rosenblatt Recital Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition. Other awards include the Maggie Teyte Competition, Miriam Licette Award and the RTÉ Millennium Singer of the Future.
