Description:

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Vaughan Williams' birth, we are simultaneously recording works by George Butterworth and Ivar Berthier-Garnery, both of whom were closely associated with him. All three men experienced World War I and witnessed its tragedy, which influenced their works, and these recordings offer a glimpse of what it was like at the time. British baritone Benjamin Hewat-Crew moved to Germany at the age of 22 to study with Christoph Pregardien at the Conservatory in Cologne from 2015 to 2018 and now studies with Lioba Braun. She is one of the baritone singers who have been gaining recognition in Germany in recent years. Tokyo M Plus
