'Little Wanderer', from the dream world of William Blake, seemed the perfect title for an album in which we are surrounded by countless landscapes in songs by Benjamin Britten, Imogen Holst and Daniel Kidane. Since our first day at the Royal College of Music we have long enjoyed programming Britten's masterful reinterpretations of folk songs, and we love the texts and music in his powerful Hardy cycle Winter Words. It was a pleasure to discover songs by Imogen Holst, Britten's good friend and assistant, and we are proud to be able to make the first recording of Dans Songs of Illumination, commissioned by Leeds Lieder in 2018. For more than ten years, English song has played an important role in our musical life and our relationship as performing musicians, and we are delighted to present this programme together.
