The complete Delius songbook – vol.2
The second CD in a two-disc series that comprises the first recording of the complete songs of Frederick Delius (1862-1934).
Everything about these two discs, from the performances to the engineering and through to the program notes and texts, is utterly professional, and professional at a high level. (Fanfare)
With fresh-minted accompaniments from Stephen Barlow, Stone proves an expert guide not just by uncovering little-known manuscripts, but by investing Delius’s songs with verve and variety of mood, in part through his intelligent diction – **** (Financial Times)
Rich in nuance, sensual contrasts of colour and range of textual expression… collectively eloquent and ideally committed to extracting the essence of each song – **** (Classic FM Magazine)
Stone’s engagingly natural style and immaculate diction are supported by Barlow’s sympathetic playing (Sunday Times)
