Anthony Rolfe Johnson (tenor), Simon Keenlyside (baritone), Graham Johnson (piano), The Duke Quartet
The third release in Naxos’ series of Collins Classics English Song reissues is Anthony Rolfe Johnson’s sublime performance of Vaughan Williams’ masterpiece On Wenlock Edge.
“Keenlyside’s warm, firm tone, smooth line and refined way with words combine to create an unforgettable impression. … [Rolfe Johnson] also delivers a typically sympathetic, subtly phrased, musing account of the famous ‘Silent Noon’ from The House of Life cycle. Then he draws a wide range of emotion and colour from the familiar On Wenlock Edge. … Johnson’s contribution to the rest of a well-filled CD is as thoughtful as one would expect. The disc begins and ends with two little-known and pleasing Shakespeare duets where the singers’ voices blend nicely. The recording is excellent in presence and balance” Gramophone
