Most Holy night

Available for over a year

Musicians died in World War One. Others - years later - from the traumas they'd suffered. Poet and composer, Gurney chose carefully the texts for his 300+ songs. Sleep and Death are often - as here - too-well represented themes. Composer: Ivor Gurney Performer: Kathryn Rudge (Mezzo) Performer: James Baillieu (Piano) Recording date: 13 February 2017 Date of broadcast: 13 February 2017
