TenorAinsley, John Mark
ComposerTippett, Sir Michael

A Second World War song cycle, with texts by a pair of poets who died unconscionably young in the war. The cycle remembers one lover in paricular. It took Tippett five years to write the cycle, devastated by the suicid of his great friend Francesca Allinson. Tippet's sexuality made him unable to reciprocate her passion. Text by 20 year old Sidney Keyes.
With English pianist Iain Burnside.
Music Web International Recording of the Year 2006: 'This is a lovely CD'; Gramophone: outstanding; International Record Review: outstanding.
