Ian Venables' setting of four poems of A.E. Housman originally scored for tenor solo, string quartet and piano, here arranged for tenor and piano. Lyrical pieces of intermediate difficulty, sometimes elegiac, sometimes angry. Written in 2004 but very much in the English song tradition of Finzi, Gurney and Warlock these are therefore ideal recital companions to those composers.

Celedonio Romero (1913 - 1996) was a classical guitarist and composer. Born in Cuba to Spanish parents, he studied music at Malaga and Madrid, but never had any formal Guitar lessons. Having became well known within Spain, he was refused permission to perform outside the country by Franco's government. In 1957, he moved to the United States, and founded the distinguished Guitar quartet Los Romeros with his three sons. Romero wrote over 100 compositions for Guitar. His ever-popular Gavota (Gavotte) was first published in 1980, but was probably written much earlier.

Sonatas and quartets aren't my thing. Armed with this self-knowledge, composer Isabelle Aboulker placed singing at the heart of her creative activity and garnered huge success in a variety of genres such as oratorio (The Man who Staggered Through War, 1997), comic opera (Monsieur de Balzac fait son theatre, 1999), childrens tales (Douce et Barbe Bleue, 2002) and the theatrical adaptationof narrative works (Une fille quon appelle Boule de suif, 2014). Isabelle Aboulker also devotes much attention to melody, as can be seen in this collection presenting a few of her most enchanting successes. Her prosodic clarity and focus on the power of words crystallises a musical legacy that stretches from Rameau to Poulenc.This anthology of melodies for voice and piano - most of which are written for all voices - is delightfully eclectic: the melancholyperfume of the Lettre damour sits beside the unnerving eeriness of the merchant of souls (Au marche de Saint-Paul), while the limpid music of the La Fontaines Fables contrasts with the fever that animates Je taime, a passionate vocalise dedicated to Patritica Petibon. A subtle, sensitive art that enchants all who lend an ear.
