This is the premiere recording of the songs of one of England’s best loved contemporary composers. Ronald Corp has composed settings of well-known poems by Whitman, Housman, Wordsworth, Blake and many others. Some of the songs are already well known and some are on the Associated Board syllabus. “….Mark Stone has it all, terrific technique, theatrical presence…” Classic FM Magazine

(The Metro)
"RECORDING OF THE FORTNIGHT - Ronald Corp is perhaps best known for his choral compositions but here he displays a knack for finding everyone's favourite verse, whether comedic or rapturous, and setting it for solo voice with a simplicity that nonetheless achieves freshness and impact." (Classical Music Magazine)
“There are thirty-nine songs on this disc and it is a tribute to all involved that interest very seldom wanes. More please." (Musicweb International)
