A Century Of English Song, Volume 1 Walton, Britten, Tippett, and others. Sarah Leonard, Malcolm Martineau. This is closely linked to the next CD in the catalogue, A Century of English Song, Volume 2, and is the first of a major new series of albums devoted to English songs of the last 100 years. The performances are infused with love and genuine artistry, and are recorded very well. Strongly recommended.
