Robert White (tenor), Samuel Sanders (piano) Tenor Robert White sings 28 romantic songs spanning the century by both native American and immigrant composers, from Amy Beach in 1899 to Marc Marder's Walt Whitman setting of 1996. There are many favourites (or 'favorites') here from the musical stage, including Friml's Rose Marie and Victor Herbert's Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life. Malotte's famous setting of The Lord's Prayer is also included. The title of the CD is taken from Samuel Barber's beautiful setting of James Agee (the poet of Knoxville, Summer of 1924). The accompanying booklet is packed with anecdotes from Robert White's personal acquaintance with the majority of the composers represented. Several of the songs were actually written specially for him to sing. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | An American Songbook
Quintessential mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne treats us to a program of great songs from The American Songbook - a veritable quilt of many-coloured delights. The arrangements range from delicate to lush and the mood ranges from racy fun to religiously uplifting. This CD, one of Decca's first releases on compact disc, has been excerpted occasionally but, as an entity, has long been out of circulation, so it's good to have it back again - at super-budget price! | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
