Where it came from
Released by Hyperion Records in 1986, this album features the tenor Anthony Rolfe Johnson accompanied by pianist Graham Johnson. The recording focuses on the vocal works of Benjamin Britten, encompassing his settings of Michelangelo sonnets alongside various arrangements of English folk songs. Britten was deeply committed to the intersection of poetry and music, and his choices here reflect a lifelong fascination with the human voice as an instrument for emotional narrative, often tailored for his long-term partner, Peter Pears.
The production serves as a testament to the partnership between the performers and the label's dedication to capturing the intimate nuances of Britten's compositions. Graham Johnson is noted for his meticulous approach to the song repertoire, and his collaboration with Rolfe Johnson was widely regarded at the time of release for its intellectual rigor and tonal clarity. The album stands as a significant entry in the Hyperion catalogue, reflecting the label's 1980s mission to document high-quality performances of challenging and lyrical song cycles that might otherwise be overlooked.
