Vaughan Williams: On Wenlock Edge

Bliss: Elegiac Sonnet Gurney: Ludlow and Teme Vaughan Williams: On Wenlock Edge Warlock: The Curlew

BBC Music Magazine “Gilchrist's bright, ringing tenor voice is compelling from the first note, but it's the range of expression and unaffected musicality that leave the lasting impression” bbc.co.uk Andrew Mellor 5th July 2007 “...invigorating stuff from the off, and far from the pastoral legato of some other interpretations...Gilchrist’s no-nonsense vocal style meets the folk-based contours of the music with a convincing respect – his vowels more fluid and natural than some in the English tenor tradition, and his delivery all the more vivid for it.” Gramophone Magazine September 2007 “…a wonderfully imaginative account of On Wenlock Edge and The Curlew. The developing tale of Bredon Hill has never been more vividly told on records, and the desolation of Warlock's masterpiece becomes more poignant still because of the beauty evoked. ...Gurney's Housman cycle has also its finest performance on record. Strongly recommended.”
