"Proud Songsters" is a journey through the distinctive musical genre of English Song. This collection of twenty songs – familiar and lesser known – are performed by some of the finest former members of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge with one of this generation’s most exceptional pianists. Each of the nine alumni featured on this album sang as young adults at King’s, alongside pianist Simon Lepper, an other graduate of King’s.
The songs included on the album span settings of Shakespeare songs, those of prominent 20th century composers like Vaughan Williams, Britten, Finzi, Clarke and Howells through to contemporary works by Jonathan Dove, Iain Bell and Celia Harper. © King's College Recordings
