Over a distinguished career she has specialized in 20th century and contemporary British song repertoire, bringing warmth, tonal control and clear narrative focus to poetry set to music. She is joined on this recording by tenor Stanford Olsen and pianist Timothy Hoekman, whose accompaniment offers both clarity and supportive color. Together they present a broad survey of Madeleine Dring’s songs with stylistic attention to text, speech rhythms and the small-scale theatrical gestures that characterize Dring’s output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection gathers material from several of Dring’s song cycles and sets, including the Thames volumes, Betjeman settings and other song groups. The performances emphasize the intimacy and wit of Dring’s writing, with Brister and Olsen alternating solo turns and duet moments while Hoekman provides tasteful, evocative piano textures. The release on Cambria Master Recordings (CD-1205) presents the songs in a programmatic sequence that highlights both folk-like simplicity and art-song sophistication, making it a useful reference for those exploring mid-20th-century English song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Wanda Brister (Mezzo-soprano); Stanford Olsen (Tenor); Timothy Hoekman (Piano).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel credit: © 2013 Cambria Master Recordings.
