Butterworth: Six Songs from 'A Shropshire Lad' (Excerpt) - BBC Proms 2014

[@rhonataylor85]

My favourite baritone- what a gift!

[@1spissatus]

This is a very moving and restrained interpretation of an ethereally beautiful song. The diction is as clear as crystal. The mood is calm and cool, and the movement is fluid. I love it!

[@maryknight7969]

Utterly transporting. I'm blessed to hear you sing.

[@ghmus7]

Wow

Here's another song; a musical setting of the Ode of Remembrance (from Laurence Binyon's poem "For The Fallen") ruclips.net/video/IIICMM1kiu4/видео.html

What do they know of England, that only the English know

Not bad but still prefer the Shirley Quirk rendition.

[@lesleyvivien2876]

Presumably you're referring to John Shirley hyphen Quirk?
Why on earth do you prefer his? Its not bad... but he doesn't have anything like the consistency and control of Roderick Williams.
No, on second thoughts, don't bother answering. It'll only be another bit of inanity.

[@HanGration]

Lesley Vivien mate, he can prefer a different version, don’t slate him for having different tastes.

[@johnloony68]

I don't like it. The pace of the song is not at all like how the poem reads.

[@DavidAndTheDog]

However, it’s a beautiful performance of the song, as it was written. The enjoyment of the poem, read or spoken, is its own pleasure. Likewise, the piece set to music, with its own rhythm.

Class!
