對比(英文詩歌選)
卡洛琳.桑普森 女高音
喬瑟夫.米道頓 鋼琴

Song composition has been a constant in British music since the lute and consort works of the early seventeenth century. By 1900, it had developed into a sophisticated genre embraced by almost all serious composers. The music on this amply-filled disc illustrates the diversity of British song-writing and its transformation over a century: from Vaughan Williams’s Orpheus and his Lute(ca 1901) to HuwWatkins’s Five Larkin Songs, composed in 2010 for Carolyn Sampson, who performs them here.
Together with Joseph Middleton, her partner on several acclaimed recital discs, she has devised a highly contrasting programme bookended by two groups of songs by William Walton–A Song for the Lord Mayor's Tablefrom 1962, celebrating the diversity of London, and three songs from Façade, the ‘entertainment’ with which the young composer gained both fame and notoriety in 1923.These frame settings by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilterand Frank Bridgeof poetry by writers from Shakespeare and Shelley to Keats and Yeats. In comparison, the anti-romantic poems by Philip Larkin have been described as marked by ‘a very English, glum accuracy’. HuwWatkins (b. 1976) has selected texts from across Larkin’s output, catching the various moods –ranging from a certain unsentimental nostalgia to the poet’s seemingly habitual pessimism –in settings that often carry a bittersweet sting in the tail.
