Nocturnes for Baritone and Piano

World Première Recording

Invocations: A Song Cycle

Slum Song

World Première Recording


Elin Manahan Thomas (soprano), Jeremy Huw Williams (baritone), John Turner (treble recorder) & Iain Burnside (piano)

William Alwyn composed prolifically in virtually all genres; orchestral, chamber, vocal and instrumental. His major works for the voice were composed during the latter part of his career, between 1965 and 1980, and include four of the song-cycles recorded here.

“Jeremy Huw Williams brings conspicuous ardour and intelligence to the task in hand… Elin Manahan Thomas sings with chaste purity and unfailing accuracy… Iain Burnside proffers immaculate support. …this is music of strong appeal which should hopefully win the composer new admirers.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008

“…performances are never less than convincing, especially Elin Manahan Thomas's bright, pure soprano interweaving exquisitely with John Turner's treble recording and Iain Burnside's piano in Seascape…” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 *****

Huw Williams (organ)

If, as the disc’s title seems to suggest, the organ is the star first and foremost here, it’s apt. The St Paul’s organ has got guts and fire in its belly – despite being scheduled for a major overhaul. But then there’s attack and a sense of scale to the whole of this recital, with Huw Williams delivering organ playing writ large (I’m not sure, having said that, any organ could deliver music writ small). - Gramophone Magazine
