As I’ve already intimated, performances are all one could hope for. Susan Gritton brings resplendent tone and intelligent observation to the task in hand, and she receives bright-eyed, sensitive support from the BBC Concert Orchestra under Martyn Brabbins. Everything has been most faithfully captured by the sound crew, and the booklet contains detailed notes. However, a final word of warning to prospective purchasers: they’ll need to visit the Dutton Vocalion website to download the texts.
