Ivor Gurney (1890-1937) was one of the fine song writers England produced earlier this century (Ireland and Warlock were of the same vintage): but he was also a poet of distinction and originality, his double gifts unparalleled since Thomas Campian in Elizabethan times. Michael Hurd, author of a recent book on Gurney, presents the last in a five-part biographical series, in which LAURIE LEE reads the poems, and the singers are CHRISTOPHER KEYTE (baritone) with GEOFFREY PRATLEY (piano), and IAN PARTRIDGE (tenor) with JENNIFER PARTRIDGE (piano) and the GABRIELI STRING QUARTET
