About

As a composer, John Jeffreys has concentrated very largely on the medium of song for solo voice and piano. He has also composed a violin concerto and several pieces for organ, but it is the merging of words and music that fascinates him. He belongs to the generation that follows Warlock, Moeran and Finzi. He has drawn inspiration from a variety of authors – Shakespeare, Fletcher, Herrick, Yeats, Housman, Gibson and Gurney to name a few.

Ian Partridge has an international reputation as a concert singer and recitalist. His tenor voice, with its most distinctive timbre, and his unfailing sensitivity to words have earned him a devoted following through his hundreds of broadcasts and recordings. His wide repertoire encompasses the music of Monteverdi, Bach and Handel, Elizabethan lute songs, German, French and English songs and first performances of new works.

Full song texts are printed in the booklet.
