Ian Venables: Love Lives Beyond The Tomb - Songs And Song Cycles
Mary Bevan / Allan Clayton / Carducci String Quartet / Graham J / Lloyd
New and older compositions by Venables -"Britain's greatest living composer of art song"- recorded for the first time here on Signum. The works on this disc are predominantly reflective in mood, although this does not preclude the use of faster-moving music whenever the poetry requires it. Its subject matter celebrates the timelessness of love through the poetry of James Joyce, John Drinkwater, Edward Thomas, John Clare, Robert Nichols and the modern poet Jennifer Andrews; the celebration and commemoration of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, in Sir Andrew Motion's remarkable narrative poem Remember This and the collective remembrance of those who died in the First World War: the poetry of Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, Siegfried Sassoon, Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy and the less well-known Francis St. Vincent Morris providing the impetus for one of Ian Venables' most dramatic and profoundly moving cycles.
