| |  | Janet Baker - Haydn & Beethoven: Scottish Folk Song Arrangements
Arne: | Where the Bee Sucks | Beethoven: | Polly Stewart, WoO 156 No. 7 The Sweetest Lad was Jamie, Op. 108 No. 5 Faithfu' Johnie, Op. 108 No. 20 Cease your funning, WoO 156 No. 5 Bonny Laddie, Highland Laddie, Op. 108 No. 7 | Boyce: | Tell, me lovely shepherd | Campion: | Never love unless you can Oft have I sigh’d for him that hears me not If thou longst so much to learn Faine would I wed | Dowland: | Come again, sweet love doth now invite | Haydn: | Scottish Songs (selection) 19 songs | Munro, G: | My lovely Celia | Purcell: | Sleep, Adam, and take thy rest, Z195 Lord, what is man?, Z192 |
“'A Pageant of English Song' was Baker's first solo LP for EMI. Side 1, in which she's accompanied by Martin Isepp and Robert Spencer, is reissued on this CD. Side 2, with Gerald Moore at the piano, can be heard on a double CD on EMI. Dame Janet was at the beginning of the high summer of her career when this was recorded in 1967.
Every recital, concert appearance or opera role was an event. In the first song, Dowland's 'Come againe', each word is given the perfect weight, with beautiful touches on the repeated 'I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die'. The jolly 'Never love unlesse you can', the melancholy 'Oft have I sigh'd' and the coquettish 'Faine would I wed' each has its own 'face', Baker finding just the right expression in her voice. The Scottish songs arranged by Haydn, recorded eight years later, seem rather slight in comparison.
Nineteen of these arrangements one after another seem rather too much of a good thing.
The five Beethoven Scottish arrangements are the best part of the 1975 session. 'Fathfu' Johnnie' is a setting to place beside any great song of the same period. The recording seems to favour the instrumentalists somewhat, whereas in the 1967 selections, Baker's voice is always fresh and forward.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

“This album...brings into the light items that have lain out of view, out of mind, for long enough...in these Mozart recordings Fischer-Dieskau combines his finest subtlety of response with the most scrupulous legato where appropriate and beauty of tone at all times...The Haydn recordings have Gerald Moore for pianist, and how one appreciates afresh the sense of presence he brings.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
