MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: A Quiet Thing - Songs for Voice and Guitar

"Though the operatic repertoire tends to force countertenors into two relatively narrow periods - the Baroque and the years following the Second World War - David Daniels has never allowed himself to be restricted in the song repertoire. And his success at conveying the full range of emotions of the song repertoire is impressive. Here, in the company of Craig Ogden, Daniels offers a wide-ranging collection of his favourite music, including his 'signature' piece, Alec Wilder's Blackberry Winter."
Editor's Choice - Gramophone Magazine (Awards Issue 2003)

One of David Daniels' great passions is to explore repertoire not necessarily associated with the countertenor voice. He also really likes to sing with guitar. The result is a delightful program of songs that David performs regularly in recital, ranging from gems by Dowland and Purcell to American classics like Beautiful Dreamer and the title song, John Kander's A Quiet Thing. Leading Australian guitarist Craig Ogden has made the arrangements and accompanies David in a collection designed to be 'very intimate, and full of beautiful words and melodies'.
