4 out of 5 stars

June 2010

The label is Mark Stone's, his the informative notes, and he is of course also the very good singer: we are much indebted to him...Stephen Barlow is his excellent pianist and together they give a particularly fine performance of "On the idle hill of summer"...A truly enterprising tribute to Butterworth's subtle art.

25th February 2010

Stone and his pianist, Stephen Barlow, treat the songs with intelligence and sensitivity
