Synopsis

Lambert (1905-1951) was born in Britain the same year as Rawsthorne and Tippett, but his music couldn't be more different. Lambert was drawn to popular culture (jazz in particular) and his music fairly pops with its influence. The Concerto for Piano and Nine Players (1924) is filled with heady jazz rhythms and is more American than British. Also of note here is the Eight Poems of Li-Po, a youthful work influenced by the ballet of Diaghilev with the eight poems put to chamber ensemble and tenor. Philip Langridge is the tenor here and his voice has the just the right charm to it. --Paul Cook
