English Romantic Madrigals

Royal Holloway Choir, Rupert Gough

Elgar: To her beneath whose steadfast star Goodhart: Lady on the silver throne Leslie: My love is fair Sophie Edwards (soprano), Leilani Barratt (alto), Tom Robson (tenor), Ciaran Walshe (bass) & Stephen W Salts (bass) Thine eyes so bright Parry: Who can dwell with greatness! La belle dame sans merci Pearsall: Sing We and Chaunt It Light Of My Soul Summer is y'coming in Great God of Love Lay a garland Stainer: Disappointment Like as a ship Dry your sweet cheek The castle by the sea Flora’s Queen Stanford: God and the Universe On Time

The church music of Victorian England has always retained a secure foothold; not so the secular part-songs recorded here. Written to complement the Elizabethan madrigals which were then being rediscovered and performed, an unjustly neglected corner of the English vocal repertoire is revitalized by Rupert Gough and Royal Holloway Choir.
