"Four Stars ... tenor Johnson, light-voiced and lyrical, with high notes to make you swoon, and pianist James Baillieu, alert and responsive, are ideal duo partners ... these songs may veer towards the sentimental but they capture a mood and a moment."
- The Guardian
Award-winning young English tenor Ben Johnson lends his dulcet tones to a programme featuring a selection of ballads from the British Isles, beautifully accompanied by pianist James Baillieu. This song form enjoyed extraordinary popularity in private homes throughout the Victorian, Edwardian and Modern eras, inspiring generations of talented composers to marry words and music in a delightful variety of styles.
