Samuel Coleridge Taylor songs

[Martin Eastick]

I have just noticed this release - a must-buy for me! All too often, even today, Coleridge Taylor is indelibly linked with the Hiawatha trilogy, and, to a lesser extent, Petite Suite de Concert, but nothing much else. However, in more recent times, we have had a variety of recordings of other works of his, and his chamber music in particular has demonstrated his considerable abilities as a composer, even in his earliest works - which, as we know, were certainly recognised by Stanford. Coleridge Taylor composed many songs throughout his relatively short life, and with a few exceptions, are quite unknown today, so this release is most welcome! https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/heart-hereafter/hnum/10469618

Intriguing, thanks! (I'd add his violin concerto to that list, by the way.)
