Bryn Terfel – Silent Noon [Audio CD]

Description

Silent Noon by Bryn Terfel and pianist Malcolm Martineau offers listeners some of the finest examples from a remarkable period in the history of English song. Given its prominence as a spoken language the world over, it is surprising that English musical settings are still so little known outside their country of origin. In fact this is an unusually rich tradition, containing many glorious examples of wonderful words matched with inspired music to form a perfect unity. These are human songs – songs that tell stories, create moods and recall powerful emotional experiences. They are wide ranging, immediate and direct – songs of truly uni¬versal appeal.
