	Digital Booklet

This release presents a selection of songs by Hugh Wood, known for his powerfully communicative and lyrical music, spanning his entire career. These songs are set to poems by DH Lawrence, Robert Graves, Laurie Lee and Lawrence Durrell, exploring themes of youth, love, lust and longing. The DH Lawrence settings contain three poems Lawrence wrote about his days with Frieda in Bavaria and the Isles of Greece, written for and dedicated to baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Iain Burnside, is a compilation of poems celebrating various aspects of Greek life and its people. The earliest works on this recording are the Laurie Lee Songs written when Wood was only in his 20s.
