The singing is good, but perhaps a little underpowered & Pinnock's
conducting is stylish & lively. There is an excellent note by Anthony

In addition to large works like the symphonies and choral pieces, there are many small, occasional works - overtures, ballads, etc - which could easily be programmed alongside Tchaikovsky, Strauss, or other late romantics.
I mention those famous names, because they are the people Bantock most closely resembles (imitates), though without the hysteria or egotism of either. His music is always melodic and never less than pleasing, but much is superb, even outstanding. The massive song-cycle Sappho is glorious, maybe unprecedented. The sea music pieces also convey ...

Jessye Norman has THE most beautiful voice. This recording not only shows that beauty in ALL it's glory, but also the versatility of her 'instrument'.
