CUCKOO, JUG-JUG, SING-SING

By DAVID BRYSON VINE VOICE on December 14, 2011

Format: Audio CD

This disc deserves every star that a reviewer can award for the quality of the music making and the recording, and for the sheer enterprise and imagination that the production shows. However before getting round to all that I need to clear up some oddities. My disc is identical with the product on offer here except in two particulars: the series number on mine is 19, not 17; and mine has 30 tracks not 26, the difference being accounted for by having separate tracks for each of the 5 Elizabethan songs.

Ivor Gurney died in a mental institution aged 47, but the general tone of the songs is very upbeat, most of the music being in major keys. How well major tonality expresses the sentiments of the 30 poems is something you can assess easily in half of them, but only with some effort in the others as the texts are not printed but substituted with a stony `Text in copyright'. This embargo is applied to Masefield, de la Mare, Belloc and a few other less known bards of the composer's era, but not to all. Edward Thomas, a fatality of the WWI trenches, is allowed his say, but for the most part the texts we are allowed to read are Shakespeare and other 16th/17th century songsters, even including the Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-wee oddity that many remember from the first couple of pages of Palgrave's Golden Treasury.

The performers do a splendid job, and the recorded tone is absolutely as it should be. The issue (whatever its true series-number) is from the Naxos `English Song Series', and it may be that British artists are naturally endowed with special affection (I would not claim special insight) for music of this kind. Myself, I admit that I find it rather insipid.Read more ›
