Britten: On This Island; The Holy Sonnets of John Donne; Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo; Canticle I (My Beloved is Mine)
James Gilchrist (ten), Anna Tilbrook (piano)
Linn CKD404 (hybrid SACD)
Having committed a fine Winter Words to disc, Gilchrist and Tilbrook turn their attention to earlier Britten with equal success. Gilchrist brings a youthful ardour to the Auden and Michelangelo cycles, and the pair find a suitably dark tone for the underrated Donne sonnets. Excellent sound, as well as notes and full texts.
