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)
Charles D’Orléans (1394-1465) was the Duke of Orléans from 1407. He was captured at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 and spent the following 24 years in England as a prisoner of war. During his captivity he wrote two books of poetry, one in French and the other in English.
