Two of Britain's most celebrated singers, Sarah Connolly and Ian Bostridge, join Julius Drake at the piano and the Carducci Quartet for a pair of song cycles inspired by nature. Chausson's Po猫me de l鈥檃mour et de la mer, evokes the sea, at once serene, wild, mocking, cruel. Interwoven throughout the text are the subjects of love and death, themes also found in Vaughan Williams's On Wenlock Edge, where rolling waves are replaced by a quintessentially English rural landscape. Vaughan Williams sets six poems from a collection that inspired many English song composers in the first half of the twentieth century, AE Housman's A Shropshire Lad, including the poignant "Is My Team Ploughing?", sung by the ghost of a lover.
Presented by Martin Handley and recorded at London's Barbican Hall on 1st November 2020.
