Songs sung by Arthur Fear (baritone)
Three Odes of Anacreon
1 Away, away, you men of rules. 2 Fill me, boy, as deep a draught. 3 Golden hues of life are fled
When comes my Gwen ?
And yet I love her till I die Love is a Bable
A Lover's Garland
At the hour the long day ends Under the Greenwood Tree
Arthur Fear was born at Blaina, Monmouthshire, in 1902. He won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music where he studied under the famous maestro Thomas Meux , and it was after a students' performance of Falstaff that the critics hailed his singing as remarkable '. He was immediately engaged by the British National Opera Company and later by the Royal Opera Company at Covent Garden. He is recognised as one of our finest artists not only over here but also in America where he has made frequent appearances.
