Songs - S. Barber
Composer(s):
- Samuel Barber (1910-1981)
Artist(s):
… voice students around the country will be lining up well into the next century to buy it … Alexander’s singing of them [Hermit Songs] is handsome and shapely … Opus What a fine cycle this is, one realises in Alexander’s graphically sung account … vividly expressive without ever disrupting the grace of Barber’s vocal lines. Gramophone
