Reviews
The indomitable Thomas Allen is captured live to fascinating effect on the Wigmore’s own label … Allen’s accounts are full of personality and nuance, and Martineau’s playing is exquisite
Classic FM Magazine
Thomas Allen is already on my desert island. The central performance of his March recital, a half-recited, half-sung rendering of A Shropshire Lad, is already an archive treasure
BBC Music Magazine
Whether he sings or speaks, Allen’s ability to penetrate meaning is total. Essential for Allen devotees, and a great introduction to early 20th-century English song
