Songs before sleep

Available for over a year

Not lullabies but nursery rhymes, and not sleepy ones either! Bennett musically treats the texts seriously even when they're playful or nonsensical. These six are whimsical but never mocking. Composer: Richard Rodney Bennett Performer: Ashley Riches (Baritone) Performer: Joseph Middleton (Piano) Recording date: 08 July 2018 Date of broadcast: 10 July 2018
