About

Dan Laurin has a reputation not just as a recorder virtuoso, but also for his great interest in - and curiosity about - the less well-known repertoire for the instrument.

With 'Songs of Yesterday' he opens up yet another, less familiar chapter in the history of recorder music: between 1939 and 1989 Carl Dolmetsch, the great pioneer in modern recorder playing, gave almost annual recitals at Wigmore Hall in London, for which he often commissioned works with piano or harpsichord accompaniment.

Written by composers such as Edmund Rubbra and Lennox Berkeley, Laurin and his partner Anna Paradiso have selected these pieces.
