'I cannot recommend this disc highly enough. To list the outstanding moments would take too long. Very highly recommended' (Classic CD)
'A very fine recital indeed' (CDReview)
Thought to be the very first 'Shropshire Lad' settings is the 1904 cycle by Sir Arthur Somervell. The coupling is Somervell's famous cycle of songs from Tennyson's 'Maud' ('Come into the garden, Maud, for the black bat, night, has flown …').
Tracks:
Maud:
I hate the dreadful hollow;
A voice by the cedar tree;
She came to the village church;
O let the solid ground;
Birds in the high Hall garden;
Maud has a garden;
Go not, happy day;
I have led her home;
Come into the garden, Maud;
The fault was mine;
Dead, long dead;
O that 'twere possible;
My life has crept so long
A Shropshire Lad:
Loveliest of trees; When I was one-and-twenty;
There pass the careless people;
In summertime on Bredon;
The street sounds to the soldiers' fread;
On the idle hill of summer;
White in the moon the long road lies; Think no more, lad, laugh, be jolly; Into my heart an air that kills;
The lads in their hundreds
