Gilchrist/Williamson | 100 Yrs British Song Vol.3 | CD

Tenor James Gilchrist and pianist Nathan Williamson bring voice and keyboard into the close partnership of the recital tradition. Their performances place attention on words, phrasing and the relationship between vocal line and accompaniment, allowing a song's emotional detail to emerge through shared musical decisions.

One Hundred Years of British Song, Volume 3 brings James Gilchrist and Nathan Williamson together in a recital programme of twentieth and twenty-first century writing. Songs by Madeleine Dring, Peter Dickinson, Geoffrey Poole, John Woolrich and Williamson reveal contrasting approaches to words, melody and the relationship between voice and piano.
