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)
Benjamin Dale (1885-1943) was detained in Germany while traveling to the Bayreuth Festival. As a member of the Ruhleben Music Society Dale gave talks on Beethoven Symphonies, recreated the score of The Mikado from memory, and wrote incidental music for a performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. He was interned in Ruhleben until 1918 when, after breaking his arm and promising not to escape, he was moved to a farm in the Netherlands.
