Reviews

'This timely recital includes songs by those, more ore less obscure who fell young in the First World War—George Butterworth, Albéric Magnard, Rudi Stephan, William Denis Browne and others—and by those who survived, were imprisoned or were otherwise affected by that shameful conflict. The gifted tenor Robin Tritschler's singing is nuanced sensitively, while the pianist Malcolm Martineau is, as always, an astute partner' (The Sunday Times)
Edgar L Bainton (1880-1956) was arrested while en route to the Bayreuth Festival and transferred to Ruhleben. He became the vicechairman of the Ruhleben Musical Society and was an active member; composing for, and performing in, the weekly concerts given at the camp. All night under the moon was written in 1917 while Bainton was interned. After his release he returned to his post as Principal of the Newcastle Conservatory.

Wilfred Wilson Gibson (1878-1962) was a friend of Edgar Bainton. They often took country walks together. Gibson joined the British Army in 1914, and served briefly on the Western Front as a Private in the Infantry.
