About
Described as "one of the finest song composers of his generation", Ian Venables’ music for voice and string quartet draws on a wealth of literary and musical sources, in particular from the 19th Century romantic tradition. Performances on this disc come from British tenor Andrew Kennedy and the award winning Dante Quartet.
This release follows On Wenlock Edge, with performances by Andrew Kennedy, the Dante Quartet and pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips of works by Vaughan Williams, Ivor Gurney and Ian Venables.

October 2010
In the songs themselves, the vocal line seems central, not as in so many modern compositions added to accommodate the text, and they show a feeling for the singing voice...Andrew Kennedy does well by them: strong, assured and expressive.
