This album features premiere recordings of two substantial song cycles by British composer Ian Venables, called "one of the finest song composers of his generation" by BBC Music Magazine. International baritone Roderick Williams is joined by the Carducci String Quartet and pianist Graham J Lloyd on The Song of the Severn, a celebration of Venables’s home county of Worcestershire and The Pine Boughs Past Music, a poignant tribute to the poetic talents of Ivor Gurney. Other songs on the programme include those with solo piano and arrangements by Lloyd for string quartet. Each work highlights the composer's gift for taking poetry to a higher level of appreciation and at the same time creating works of lasting beauty.
