The Holy Sonnets of John Donne, Op 35 (Britten)
from French Connections (CKD477)
1 Oh my blacke Soule! now thou art summoned [3'48]
2 Batter my heart three person'd God; for, you [1'23]
3 O might those sighes and teares returne againe into my breast and eyes [3'33]
4 Oh, to vex me, contraryes meet in one [1'10]
5 What if this present were the world's last night? [3'13]
6 Since she whom I love hath payd her last debt [3'13]
7 At the round earth's imagined corners, blew [2'39]
8 Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay? [1'27]
9 Death be not proud, though some have called thee [3'56]
24 minutes 22 seconds 9 tracks
'This is a sort of ‘American in Paris’ tribute, with cameos of four French leading lights who were close to Poulenc … all delivered here beguilingly' (Gramophone)
