BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert, City of London Festival - The Fateful Voyage

Music and poetry from World War I with tenor James Gilchrist and pianist Iain Burnside.

WWI music and poetry from Rupert Brooke, William Denis Browne and FS Kelly. With James Gilchrist (tenor) and Iain Burnside (piano), plus reader Matthew Cammelle.

Recorded at Drapers' Hall, London, for Radio 3's WWI season Music in the Great War.
Presented by Martin Handley

The Fateful Voyage pays homage to composers who enlisted and were killed in the First World War. This concert focuses on the friendship between composers FS Kelly and William Denis Browne and the poet Rupert Brooke, who sailed together to the Dardanelles and died soon after. Their friendship generated poems and music which endure as a poignant reminder of their extraordinary lives.
