Roderick Williams (baritone)

BBC Concert Orchestra, Martin Yates

Recorded at The Colosseum, Town Hall, Watford, 5-6 June 2007

“Roderick Williams is his usual mellifluous self, but these baritone songs, often orchestrated by other hands, are a very mixed bag…” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ***

“Roderick Williams is, as ever, admirable in the quality of his tone, the clarity of his diction and the cleanness of his style. The well arranged orchestral accompaniments are sympathetically conducted and carefully played.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008
