Notes
Peter Warlock – collected 78rpm recordings
Philip Heseltine, aka Peter Warlock, was an enigma in many ways – song-writing and arranging genius, fine orchestrator – but also a political animal, bon-viveur, and ultimately a self-absorbed depressive who took his own life. This download comprises many of the recordings of Warlock’s work issued on standard-groove records between 1925 and 1951. All were lovingly collected by the late John Bishop, stalwart of the Peter Warlock Society, which has generously assisted with the production of this album. It can be seen as a tribute to one of England’s most influential composers of the early twentieth century. Detailed notes on the man and his music, and these recordings, are included. The performers number some of Britain’s finest of the age.
‘One of the happiest of recent historical releases… music-making that is both intimate and intense. Some treasurable performances that would otherwise be extremely difficult to track down. The transfers are good and so are the notes.’
Rob Cowan, Gramophone
