A Life On-Line: A disappearing hero in Glasgow, a dramatic soprano in recital, late Schumann in Croydon
Janacek: Diary of One Who Disappeared - Ed Lyon, Lucy Schaufer - Scottish Opera (image take from live stream) As part of the Lammermuir Festival, Scottish Opera performed Janacek's dramatic song-cycle The Diary of One Who Disappeared (Zápisník zmizelého) in a new concert staging directed by Rose Purdie streamed live from the Theatre Royal, Glasgow with tenor Ed Lyons and mezzo-soprano Lucy Schaufer. Stuart Stratford conducted members of the orchestra of Scottish Opera, using an orchestration of the piece by the Czech composers Miloš Štědroň (born 1942) and his son Miloš Orson Štědroň.

The personal Roger Quilter : Mark Stone - Songs of Roger Quilter vol 3
Mark Stone and Stephen Barlow present Volume III in their series the Complete Roger Quilter Songbook, on Stone Records. Quilter made more settings of Shakepeare than most others, so Volume I in the series focussed on his Shakespeare settings, while volume II featured his settings of Jacobean poets. In contrast, this third volume highlights Quilter's interest in folk-inspired sources. This shows a more informal Quilter than the greatly admired art songs, but reveals the intimate side of Quilter's personality. Superb notes enhance this series, which re-assesses the range of Quilter's output.The Arnold Book of Old Songs was written for Arnold Vivian. Quilter and his older brother Arnold, for whom their nephew was named, seem to have ben very different personalities, though they were very close. Arnold was extravert, athletic, tall (6 foot7) and a hero, who had served in the Boer War. He was also part of the circle around […]
