Come to me in my Dreams, 120 years of songs from the RCM

• Come to me in my dreams-Lieder

Product Description Dame Sarah Connolly’s exceptional nocturnally inspired recital spans over 120 years of British song from Stanford to Turnage, and includes world premieres of two songs by Benjamin Britten. Marking Sarah Connolly’s Proms recital debut, the centenary of Sir Hubert Parry’s death, and British composers in general, who studied or taught at the Royal College of Music, this album is an astonishing collection not to be missed. Review The recording, from Suffolk's Potton Hall, is especially vivid even by Chandos standards, with the pianist Joseph Middleton emerging here with equal credit to Dame Sarah. This is a real connoisseur's choice, and I cannot recommend it too highly. --Classic FM, June'18 Sarah Connolly is to be double congratulated as programme compiler and for her admirably elegant and eloquent singing throughout, the musical accent largely introspective and twilit, her performances illuminated by adroitly judged treatment of texts and music. --Classical Ear, August'18
