Subject: RE: George Butterworth (Musician-died 1916)
Continuing on from the previous post about "A Shropshire Lad": that is the song cycle composed by both George Butterworth and Ralph Vaughan-Williams.
I got to hear the Butterworth settings, complete, at the Tanglewood Music Center this summer. The singer could have been better -- faulty technique for a classical singer -- but at least we got to hear the music.
