Songs of the sea, songs of travel

"In all these sea-faring songs Michaels-Moore's voice is richly unfurled. Stanford's settings are great fun, especially when sung and played as enthusiastically as here. As his songs do not receive the attention that they deserve, these selections fill a gap ... I did receive much pleasure from this issue".

"It makes an ideal coupling linking Stanford's breezy settings ... with songs by Vaughan Williams at his freshest and most open ... You have a disc full of delights, with inspired performances from Anthony Michaels-Moore, made the more compelling by the deliciously sprung accompaniments of Michael Pollock ... A refreshing disc".
