Finalist for Presto Recordings of the Year 202 & Editor’s Choice (February 2020) - “This varied and vivid survey of English song gets off to an exuberant start with Walton’s rollicking paean to London, A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table, with Sampson by turns caustic and tender as the much-betrayed docker’s wife Molly in Wapping Old Stairs, and sustains its magic through a sequence of Bridge, Quilter and Vaughan Williams (including one of the loveliest Silent Noons you’re ever likely to hear). Huw Watkins’s arresting Larkin settings come across powerfully in their world premiere recording.”
