Dame Janet Baker, mezzo; Martin Isepp, piano
“the great thing is that the records are back again, and 'glorious' is indeed the word. ..The voice is absolutely radiant, the glow of youth upon it: firm, resonant, superbly controlled, and strikingly individual. The selection of songs could not be better; all are gems, especially the two by Howells, which are also two of the most inspired in performance. I found Ivor Gurney's I will go with my father a-ploughing almost unaccountably moving, and Dame Janet's singing of Finzi's Come away, death shows her already the mistress of the art of softening and coloring the voice to most lovely effect. ... Martin Isepp's playing is always sympathetic and particularly good in the Warlock songs. Balance favors the voice ....but these are glorious discs” (J.B. Steane, Gramophone)
